I can't take a (C++) project seriously if it is using Visual Studio's build system instead of autotools, CMake or even just a Makefile.

make let not var

Other devranters:
LOL
MOAR
OHAHAHAHAH
OMG SO FUNNY

me:
make: *** No rule to make target `let'. Stop.

when you start really learning C, not "hello world" C but Makefiles and autotools and libraries... is it me or is almost everything a C library and the rest of the languages are just wrappers for C libraries?

Forked from Facebook

Is Cmake really worthwhile ? Like, I see the point of autotools, and it seems pretty worthwhile, but why make something you have to hand configure from the looks of it with a vast array of tags you'll use maybe once per project ?

Is there a frontend maybe for it ? I mean I know the concept they state but it hasn't seemed to work very well the last number of projects I tried to build using it, on windows. On linux everything works LOL But if the point is cross platform building whats the deal ?

Do you think which GNU Autotools is slow in supporting the compile_commands.json (needed by many C/C++ auto completion systems) because is mostly used by Clang users?
