Recently it happens frequent to me that algorithms that came handy for me
are available in the open source linux world,
but only with autoconf build process.
The way to build that at windows seems to use the msys2 system,
which means you have to do in the linux world, moreover it's
quite extensive.
If practical I would like to avoid installing msys2.
My question:
Is there an appropriate way to do it directly?
For example by a kind of CB plugin etc. to process the autoconf files?
Or would it be a way to convert the autotools files to makefiles or to cmake?
(But these conversions seem to be laborious and prone to errors).
Maybe using msys2 is still the safest, easiest way?
Opening CB to the "autoconf world" in an easy way would
be great for CB users, I might think.
