where (code)

https://github.com/hoijui/l3afpad/tree/cmake

what

l3afpad CMake (meta-)build system support.
just a rough prototype as of now.
feel free to continue working on it, or push me to do it. ;-)

how

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make
make install

why

too many pros and cons to list here, do a web-search if interested:
https://www.ecosia.org/search?q=cmake+vs+autotools

So, please consider writing a modern CMake file before merging this branch. Or, you know what? Order doesn't matter. You can merge and then modernize the CMakeLists.txt.

Also, drop the GNU-auto-tools-related files while you're at it. If people can get GTK+ 3, they can get CMake.
