Discourage using configure/make to build Poco #4463

Closed matejk closed 3 months ago

matejk commented 5 months ago

CMake is officially supported build system for building Poco.

To discourage using configure and make, a warning is printed and the user has to explicitly force usage of configure script.

Linux packagers seem to use cmake (at least Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu).

What about having just a message?

Message only is fine, I think the documentation is the most important part, so we have no strict obligation to keep it absolutely immaculate - just RTFM anyone complaining about it.
