better to use a Makefile than the Capri build system

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hey

so i'm not too good at the whole build thing, but I think you should use a makefile instead of the capri thing. it makes it easier for people to compile and use since most *nix systems already have the make command built-in. Just a suggestion though.

Cheers

Oh hello!

Well capri has binaries for practically every platform. One problem I've faced with makefiles is that they don't support spaces in paths properly, by nature of them being a shell-script extension/derivative.

I don't think not having spaces in file paths is a legitimate limitation, especially since separating words is an integral part of every proto-IE based language (except maybe German hahaha). The Unix world needs to up their game...
