opinion: cmake is precisely the same sort of
ingrown-project-creates-own-tool-badly as aimk.
Could you please expand on that a bit? I find to be a pretty good tool.
I only occasionally have to deal with it, so do not consider my
opinion to be authoritative. as far as I can tell, it's a tool
that dates back to the days when everyone as inventing their own
way to do whole-tree builds. X had a similar thing, and probably
dozens of other projects. eventually, it became clear that using make
itself was the most sensible approach.
far more interesting is _configuring_ a whole tree. do you use cmake
for this, as well? that's the real point of the modern "./configure && make"
approach, and at least in the cases I've seen, cmake doesn't do this.
as a tangent, I certainly de-emphasize make when talking to users these days.
for a code that has less than, say 10 source files, all in one dir, it rarely
makes sense to use make - at least with the traditional separate-compilation
compile to .o, then link way. compilers like getting all the source at once...
