Can it build a C++ SFML application on windows?
I am now annoyed by the claims of those build systems. My own experience is using a visual studio project manually, and writing classic makefile for linux. Those are things I can't avoid learning.
The root of the problem is that windows/unix do things differently, but that doesn't change anyone's understanding of how a compiler/linker works.
I am against those build system: I need to learn how to use them, and I need to understand how they manage to "reunite" different toolchains.
Generally, I would guess I spend less time building something on each system with either visual studio/makefiles, than using a meta-build system.
Microsoft is at fault for making things differently, of course, but attempts to reunite platforms are often quite misguided
Of course, people who write libraries need those build systems, obviously, although I don't know what any other build system does better than CMake.
