New submission from TheUltimatePineapple <hentai...@outlook.com>:
The current CPython build system is antiquated and makes cross-platform builds difficult (in my experience). There have been unofficial CMake implementations but they are either outdated, abandoned or just unusable. Adopting CMake has many benefits, here are few: 1. Simplifies cross-platform builds and inclusion of CPython in other projects as subdirectory/subproject. 2. Automatically generated builds for any CMake supported OS'es, no need to maintain an unique build system for each OS, only the CMake script. 3. Faster. Just the configuration process in current build system for Unix is super slow, making testing changes slow and painful. ---------- components: Build messages: 369724 nosy: TheUltimatePineapple priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: [CMake] It's 2020, where is CMake? type: enhancement versions: Python 3.10 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue40743> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
