Yes, the current build system isn't elegant. I would love to see it replaced by something better.
it is not about elegance nor about "being better". it is all about maintenance.
there are currently at least 4 different ways to build zexy:
- my build system (autoconf/make)
- pd-extended (which currently uses my build system)
- build/
- scons
i simply cannot keep track whether my changes to my code affect all of these systems. i am happy if it compiles with mine.
I couldn't agree more, we should have one build system for everything. Right now, the only functional option for that is the current Pd-extended build system.
