that's a bad argument. every new system, good as it is, needs one of two things to become "famous" (or standard if you like):
1) a LONG LONG time of proving itself, slowly.
2) a big "showcase project"

when (2) happens, and big project starts using the new system, two things happen:
1) system gets better, since a lot of testing is put into it
2) system can get a chance to prove itself much much faster

so, in this case, the project for bksys can be kde, and it might just prove itself better then autohell.

honestly, i don't have a clue about bksys but i know auto* is pain.

Why are you ignoring and skipping comments and arguments and then come up with own replies that are far OT to what's actually written ?

Tell me the benefits of Scons over Auto* and I return here in a couple of hours crushing all your arguments to dust.

;--- from another comment.
d) If you read the autotool documents correctly then you would figure that autotools has to serve on a lot of POSIX compliant systems with dozens if not hundrets of different toolchains, compilers, headers and whatever. It's not limited to linux, it's not limited on windows, it's not even limited on operating systems such as MorphOS, AmigaOS (which are totally NON POSIX). That are the big advantages of autotools. You enter configure and then make afterwards. But you of course know perfectly the difference between scons and auto* since you never ever read a damn doc about it.

If something works as well without reading docs like you get the other to work only after spending much time reading docs the former is surely the more comfortable solution, no?
