Slightly off topic comment: On the principles of build systems, I like the ideas put forward in this video

Better Way to Build C

It is not a fully developed idea and if I did it I would use simple C++. But one important argument is why use an 'incomprehensible' script like CMake when you already have a much more powerful and familiar language like C++ when you are developing a C++ application?. The whole build system could be simple C++ source code which is easily bootstrapped and used for building an application.  It even knows which compiler used for bootstrapping it and will be used for building the application. Something like that seems appealing even as an incomplete idea.

They do exist, I have one installed under Kubuntu 22.04
https://github.com/chris-be/premake-codeblocks

These days I just use Code::Blocks.

And can this thing turn this cmakelist.txt into a Code::Blocks? Does it only work on Linux and only with this clang?
