I used to have a CMake script for building Janet, which I then deleted as it was annoying to maintain and less flexible than a Makefile. I found CMake to not really be an improvement for portability. I do miss the easy development on Windows with visual studio, but a batch file works fine too.
A supplementary CMakeLists.txt for building would be useful, but not really on my roadmap.

How do you think about to support more development environments by the reuse of build system generators?
from janet.
Build system generators are nice sometimes, but don’t really help with making things truly cross platform, they just smooth out the easiest step. Since I do most of the development for Janet in vim on Linux and occasionally Notepad++ on windows, IDE support is not so important to me.
Lastly, Janet has a bootstrap step that requires somewhat complicated rules. The CMake build, even before when it was simpler, required several custom commands to embed files in the binary.
Again, a CMake based build would be great and definitely help developers who wanted to use an IDE contribute, but not on my Roadmap. As for making Janet cross platform, I don’t think a build system generator is all that much help besides setting a handful of compiler flags, especially as Janet has basically no dependencies besides some basic Posix stuff and win32 on windows. Possibly pthreads in the future.

Does a tool like “autoscan” show any software dependencies that you find worth for further considerations?
from janet.
No.
