[tsc-devel] Build system for TSC3

Marvin Gülker | Sun, 17 Jun 2018 10:05:51 UTC

Hi everyone,

since I have heard complaints about cmake every now and then, I'd
carefully ask if anyone wants to propose an alternative. Luiji earlier
suggested something custom written in Ruby. Since Ruby does with its
included Rake have a quite powerful task tool that can easily be
extended, that's one possibility I'd be willing to further explore (also
given that we have Ruby as a build dependency anyway due to mruby, which
does use Rake).

Note I'm only asking for suggestions so I can evaluate them. That
doesn't necessaryly mean that I'm going to switch the build system for
TSC3 anytime soon. I'm mostly fine with cmake except for a few quirks
and for me there's only little reason to switch.

Currently, TSC3 uses cmake just like TSC2. Since TSC3 will have a
noticably smaller number of dependencies (I hope), the cmake
configuration will be noticably easier as well.

I'd like to preclude autotools from possible build system
alternatives. I've struggled with it enough when I took over old SMC.

Marvin
