Re: [Vala] Flowgraphs for Gtk in Vala



cmake is a hassle for packaging in many ways. And autotools are not that
hard, really. It takes few minutes to get a project running.

Thanks to be open for other build systems.

I've ported GXml [1] from CMake to Autotools and used the last in
all my Vala projects, then I think I can do the job :-)

I'll fork your repository and make a pull request for it.


Awesome. I am thrilled to see the results.

But, as this is loosely related to Vala in general i'll ask right here:

Where do you see the benefits of autotools over cmake in a
vala-project? I know that the GNOME project requires its official
sub-projects to use autotools als buildsystem and i know that debian
packages is most simple when the source tarball uses autotools because
one can leave the debian/rules-file as is. But does this really
compensate for the time-costs of learning and using the (in my
personal view) highly unintuitive autotools? Is there any technical
aspect i am missing here?

Yours, Grindhold.
