Hi,
I also used cmake in other projects, and it is sometimes quite hard to
debug but otherwise works ok. I have little experience with scons, but
I was quite happy I managed to add out of source build in one hour the
other day, so I have a good feeling with scons based on that.
I am worried about spending time changing a build system that works
very well, as this is bikeshedding
(https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/bikeshedding). In that sense, it
does not add real value to the project and wastes energy.
kind regards,
Stéphane

I agree that cmake is the way to go.

Cmake is more or less the standard among c/c++ projects these days.
Not because it’s the fastest or the easiest. Mainly because it’s
the most feature complete build tool. Gnome switched to meson some
time back but I still find mesons lacking in some areas.
If we are going to switch I’d suggest going with cmake. I can take
a look if your interested.

Qmake is for qt, right? Does it build with cake now? How about
visual studio?

As part of this pull request
https://github.com/Globulation2/glob2/pull/6
Richel is adding support to use qmake instead of scons and gave some
decent reasoning why it's useful to have. I don't have any
preferences on which build tool to use, except that I think we
should only use one. Having to maintain two methods of building the
project and introducing that as another variable when helping people
debug compiling issues seems like a bad idea.
Since I haven't touched c++ build tools in quite some time, what are
you guys' thoughts? scons, cmake, qmake, something else? or support
multiple?
