How about an amp plugin that uses dpf and meson as a build system? Would that be useful? Meson is not hard to learn at all and makes much more sense than make or cmake or waf or anything really (I'm converted yes!)

I find the makefiles that DPF uses, quite clear.

BTW, a while ago, I wrote a cookiecutter template, with which you can generate a new DPF project by simply answering a few prompts:

Code: Select all

That's brilliant!
Thanks.

I do have plans to do that but I don't understand most of what is going on inside those Makefiles.

What about this one, it's from one of my libraries:
