Decide on a build system.

[deanberris]

Pick at least one of:

• bazel
• CMake
• gn

for the build system.

Cmake please

I'm not familiar with bazel, but CMake today has really good tool integration (even if it's weird and sometimes difficult to use). gn doesn't seem to be as portable, nor does it seem to integrate with IDEs.

My feeling is that the question should be "why not CMake".

[deanberris]

No real objection to CMake, was just hoping to get a discussion going on whether we should also support other build systems that aren't CMake. :)

So it's CMake and... nothing else?

[jamesjallorina]

Maybe we can support other build systems in the future. But for the meantime we can start first with CMake. :)

Oops -- wrong buttons. I think it's settled then, happy to stick to CMake for now. :)
