Djbsort: A new software library for sorting arrays of integers
My job involves a lot of packaging/cross-compilation, and djb's libraries always seem consistently hostile to the lowly packaging engineer.Would it really be all that much work to package in autotools or CMake? Why do I need his special-snowflake build system with its hard-coded assumptions about system paths?I know that the cult of djb will downvote this into oblivion, but seriously, what is the rationale for a build flow that involves:  1. Downloading a text file
  2. Parsing it to get a URL
  3. Making a new user
  4. Symlinking the user's HOME directory into the build tree
  5. Run an extremely non-standard build system.
  6. Hope you're not trying to cross-compile, because good luck with that.
  7. Guess at where the files came out (hint: it probably won't be in FHS locations)
  8. Copy the output yourself once you find it.

Would it really be that much harder to give us a git repo and a ./configure or a CMakeLists.txt?
