Chicken and egg problem #40

Open illiliti opened 2 years ago

illiliti commented 2 years ago

Current build system depends on meson which implies chicken and egg problem. Can you provide POSIX Makefile/shell script to build this project without meson?

dcbaker commented 2 years ago

Yes, having another build system (probably Makefile and/or autotools) to bootstrap is on the list of things to do, with the goal being a stage 1, which can be used to build itself again with more features. Right now there's so much code churn going on that I'd prefer to wait until things are a little more settled.
