make vs python
Two candidates for the build systems are considered:
- make
- something based on python, like SCons
make pros
- well-known
- available on all platforms (separate install on Windows, but available)
make cons
- considered not very efficient by some
python pros
- extending the build process is very powerful
python cons
- may face acceptance problems, like SCons
Thoughts
Only as internal builder, probably it does not matter. It was easier to start pyXCDL with make files, and performance was not a problem.
However, for writing recipes, like for BitBake, an object oriented approach in Python might have advantages.
