Yes we will have one build system covering all of efl / e internally eventually, but the set of files required to allow 3rd party apps to use whichever buildsystem they want whether its autotools, cmake or meson are simple so as a core system library like efl keeping the build files to allow 3rd parties to build there efl apps with cmake autotools or whatever build system they feel like. There is no good real reason to force 3rd parties to use the same build system e / efl are using. Especially if they are using efl from binaries rather then building it themselves. You can also look at Qt/KDE where Qt / smaller Qt apps tend to use qmake while almost all kde apps are now using cmake and maybe some are migrating to meson. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B
