But I think that, in 2018, we have a very good solution to quite a few of those problems.
It's CMake. Not CMake 2.8 though; that was released before C++11 even existed!
Nor the horrible examples out there for CMake (even those posted on KitWare's own tutorials list).
I'm talking about Modern CMake. CMake 3.1+, maybe even CMake 3.12+!
I'm talking about Modern CMake. CMake 3.1+, maybe even CMake 3.13+!
It's clean, powerful, and elegant, so you can spend most of your time coding, not adding lines to an unreadable, unmaintainable Make (Or CMake 2) file.
