How can we throw this cancer out?

Hopefully, Meson will save us

systemd will have a solultion

Is this just more "ree it's easy so it's bad" posturing by linux autists or is there a legitimate problem here?

As always, the only way to remove trash tier ideas is to remove the people supporting it.

But (at least to me, YMMV) it is pretty unclear which people support autotools. It might be the majority of C programmers, it might be UNIX fanbois or it might even only be GNU apologists.

It is a real problem. It is one of the first and worst steps in a chain of people fucking up when building build tools.

Easy? This is fuckton of undebuggable shell kludges to generate another unreadable scripts.

systemd moved to meson starting v234, it's blazing fast

Autotools just werks.

Only SJW autists complain about

Autotools does not just work, for complicated projects it's literally the hardest part of developing on the fucking thing. It is absolutely dog shit.

move everything to cmake
