A Build System For C in C

Wed, 29 Jan 2025 00:00:00 +0000

I recently started a new project where I had to decide (again) how to build this project. This decision is faced by any developer who use a language that does not have a standard way of building things. In my case, my project is to be written in C, my go-to language, and as we all know, it does not have any standard other than the standard spec. I usually go with CMake, as my go-to build system, because I’ve seen many projects use it. It’s almost like the “industry” standard. It’s very old, and regularly updated, to keep itself up to date with available libraries, frameworks, compiler features etc… and it might be good for very big projects, but I decided that I’ll try something simpler this time.
