minus-squarechoroalp@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI currently find known C/C++ build systems and package managers lacking. Maybe this is caused by the high bar by Cargo. Its nice to see something similar to Cargo in C/C++ ecosystem. vcpkg and conan are a pain in the ass in my opinion
minus-squareleviosa@programming.devOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-21 year agoYup, Cargo is a good baseline to compare to. I don’t get the CMake arguments since: xmake isn’t trying to replace CMake xmake can create CMake files from an xmake project xmake can consume CMake files xmake can use CMake packages you can use xmake packages in a CMake project a lot of people quite obviously don’t like CMake It’s working with the ecosystem, not against and is good for C++ especially since people are comparing C++ building with tools like Cargo now.
