Re: [GD-General] Feedback wanted on POSH

[Thatcher U. <tu...@tu...>]

My opinion on the auto* tools: very unintuitive, very hacky, very
awkward to develop with, very very very (almost magically) portable
amongst Unix-like systems.  So it's fantastic for distributing source
tarballs.  But that stuff isn't really compatible with MS's Windows
tools, let alone consoles.

POSH seems much more game-developer-friendly, in that you just drop it in
to virtually any build environment.  Plus it's Public Domain, so no
license sweating.
