Specifying new Configurations is very easy. Like boost/hmake.cpp had the following two configurations defined to benchmark the debug build with header-units.
getConfiguration("conventional").assign(TreatModuleAsSource::YES, ConfigType::DEBUG); getConfiguration("hu").assign(TreatModuleAsSource::NO, TranslateInclude::YES, ConfigType::DEBUG);
Creating build-dirs at build-time will be very slow. HMake creates these in parallel at configure-time.
The issue here is not that it's hard to create new configurations. The issue is that the project's build scripts aren't an appropriate place for this. I shouldn't need to change files that are checked into version control system in order to just build the project for my system.
This is a recurrent complaint, so I concede. But I don't know where to start. I will be happy if you provide more ideas.
Meson (https://mesonbuild.com) is a relatively new build system. It has fairly well-organised and pretty documentation. You can start by copying its basic structure. You also definitely need a reference documentation for your library.
