W64devkit: A Portable C and C++ Development Kit for Windows
<i>My unusual application of Docker here is no exception. Most software builds are needlessly complicated and fragile, especially Autoconf-based builds. Ironically, the worst configure scripts I’ve dealt with come from GNU projects. They waste time doing useless checks (“Does your compiler define size_t?”) then produce a build that doesn’t work anyway because you’re doing something slightly unusual. Worst of all, despite my best efforts, the build will be contaminated by the state of the system doing the build.</i><p>Completely agree, Autoconf needs to die. C++ builds don&#x27;t <i>need</i> to be complex and fragile, even if many environments are supported. Just use a minimal CMake build and resist the urge to implement &quot;clever&quot; things in it.
