The libpd CMakeLists.txt might be a good starting point. I have used CMake for some specific things, but in general I find autotools to be the easiest to use for (non-Windows) end users, especially those on Linux that are more used to the paradigm. It's always a beast to set up, but stays stable for a long time.
One danger I'd like to avoid is all of the Windows people *not* using the autotools build as then we lose testing and further updates on that platform. Keep in mind that the autotools build is now used for Miller's "canonical" releases. > On Apr 22, 2020, at 2:31 PM, [email protected] wrote: > >> There has been interest for using CMake for libpd, so I could see > that as a companion method to build Pd but not a replacement for > autotools IMO. > > Actually, I would volunteer to setup a CMake build system for Pd.
