I'm a user not contributor, but I can give my 2 cents. Anyone could just correct me if I'm wrong.
Since you use ebuild, I suppose your scenario is we deliver a package installer for a distro. If I were you, I may prefer CMake. Makefile can be used too, if you prefer its simplicity and feel fine to maintain the build path and patch the Makefile (It's quite common in AUR that a pacman package also hosts some patches.)
I'm trying to write a Gentoo ebuild for HashLink. This repository has both
Makefile
andCMakeLists.txt
with slight(?) differences, and both of them seems to be ready to use. README describes how to build withmake
for Linux, butcmake
has richer tests and looks better as far as I can see. I don't know which should be used in my ebuild.Do they have their different intended usages?
