@saagar well autoconf does need to die though.

@qwertyoruiop @saagar honestly in my experience autoconf is the only buildsystem that i encountered that doesn't break when you try to compile some random project to weird targets like a potato or a toaster.
On the other hand stuff like cmake and ninja go up in flames when you try to add a new compiler/linker flag. Don't even try to crosscompile them to an environment which isn't supported out of the box by the dev.

@tihmstar @qwertyoruiop autoconf happens to actually be good at some things, unfortunately

@tihmstar @qwertyoruiop I actually have a project in my backlog to make things better in this space but unfortunately it is very low priority because I don’t want to have to learn how m4 works
