Autotools is definitely a nightmare to debug, and newer versions may not even be backward compatible. I also agree that libtool is annoying - many build breakage can be traced to it. But the point is that meson isn't any better, it lacks maturity (again, newer version isn't backward compatible either), lacks features ... so why change from one broken tools to another; and why the rush to embrace it, breaking builds left and right while doing so. And then Python (which meson depends on) isn't exactly straightforward to bootstrap, and doubly so for multilib environments. Anyway. Here in LFS we don't get to make that decisions, we just have to live with whatever upstream packages have decided. -- James B -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
