Hi Tomaz,
I like your proposal, I would still like to know though how do you
suggest this to work at a technical level.
- are you sure it makes sense to abstract it out? Maybe it would be as
good if it was just implemented for cmake. Coming up with an
abstraction is a bunch of additional work.
- I'm guessing that for cmake you plan to get each build in a separate
build directory. Do you plan to build them always? Or be able to
select which is the "current" platform? Or do it always knowing that
it will be usually just the one platform?
