[mkc-discuss] replacing GNU autotools

[LM <lm...@gm...>]

I've been looking for a lightweight replacement for GNU autotools.  Seems
like overkill that you need m4, Perl, etc. just to be able to build C
programs.  How does mk-configure compare with a tool like CDetect (
http://cdetect.sourceforge.net/
https://github.com/IngwiePhoenix/cDetect/wiki/Documentation:-The-general
)?  I've been using it as a configure replacement on some projects.  I've
also added some support to it for cross-compiling and using pkgconf.  How
hard is it to convert a program or library currently using GNU autotools to
use mk-configure instead?  How hard is it to convert GNU makefiles to bmake
syntax?  Any recommendations for examples on how to do these types of
conversions?

mk-configure sounds like a really interesting project.

Thanks.
