Out of curiosity, why do we need one more build tool?
Because we don't have one now. Using CMake for D is horrible,
and none of the alternatives are that much better.
Hand-written Makefiles are a nightmare and will never get
dependencies right. dub isn't a build system, although it
includes a very limited one that can't be extended. Want to
build D and C++ [snip]
You can call CMake with a pre-build command right? Would it
make sense to add an example of that?
Yes, and I've done that, but it's not great. I'm going to add
CMake support to reggae by making CMake export its compilation DB
and importing that.
It also might make sense to include in the tests/projects
folder an importC example (not sure it makes sense to include a
CMake example there).
That's a great idea, thanks!
