Comparison versus other solutions

Open CaptainZippy opened this issue 9 years ago • 2 comments

Lots of projects probably have discussions like https://github.com/ColinH/PEGTL/pull/7 It would be nice if the differences from other systems were succinctly described. I'm thinking of:

  • architectural choices (especially if it forces things in the project layout)
  • features (and deliberate non-features!)
  • stability

Similar systems which come to mind are:

  • https://premake.github.io/
  • http://www.cmake.org/

IMO, the main difference is that Bakefile encourages the build files to be pre-generated (and maybe uploaded to version control), while the others prefer the user to generate the file.

Yes, bakefile reason for existence is to allow end users to just build the project without installing anything else on their machine and using the "native" toolset that they're used to.
