Addition of a build system generator

[elfring]

I suggest to reuse a higher level build system than your current make scripts so that powerful checks for software features will become easier.

• CMake
• Autotools

I agree with you :) However, we will consider it later, as we currently only use c/c++ code very little.

• Does a tool like “autoscan” show any software dependencies that you find worth for further considerations?
• How do you think about to support more development environments by the reuse of build system generators?

I will check them, But Guider has no requirement except for python, linux kernel & libc, root permission. That is just runtime environment.

Such a view will trigger further software development considerations also for the issue “Improve build support for newer Python versions”, won't it? :thinking:
