Only the information about CC is printed even though my project is 100% C++. I tried to put require(cxx) on configure.in but that doesn't help. But it seems the configure script really probed the information about CXX, it only doesn't print them on the screen. I guess it's the case because I tried to put a target on Makefile to print the value of CXX. It printed g++.

There are new commits. But there are no answers for the submitted issues. There is no replies from the developer so far.

We should test the pkg-config / pkgconf version so it is at least 0.9.0. We may also want to test which implementation is
used:

• The original freedesktop.org implementation.
• The OpenBSD re-implementation (which appeared in OpenBSD 4.1) installed under /usr/bin/pkg-config. Note: It does not manage the Conflicts keyword.
• The FreeBSD pkgconf which is installed both as pkgconf and pkg-config by devel/pkgconf.

What's wrong with the configure script generator?

On the document of mkconfigure:

http://bsdbuild.hypertriton.com/man1/mkconfigure

I found you are mixing C and C++ into only one set of c_* functions. This will sooner or later turn into a mess.

What I found is if I run make configure, it will complain that Makefile.config is not found. This means I have to run the configure script to generate Makefile.config. But I have no configure script, this is the reason why I attempted to run make configure in the first place. Are you joking with me?

I ended up have to run these commands manually to have a configure script (they are extracted from Makefile):

cat configure.in | mkconfigure > configure
chmod 755 configure

Then I have to run this configure script to have Makefile.config so I will be able to run make configure. How ridiculous it is!

This is because the configure script will append to it instead of overwriting it. I checked the configure script, it uses >> (append) instead of > (overwrite).

Assuming I'm creating a new project from scratch with only test.cpp, configure.in, Makefile and the mk directory I copied from BSDBuild directory. There is no documents or tutorials about how to getting started. What on your page at http://bsdbuild.hypertriton.com/ is only a manual page at most. I have to guess everything and do trial and error based on the layout of your Vislak project.

I know you only do C stuff but this build system advertised that it supports C++. On build.prog.mk I found you are using CC to link object files. The result is it will fail to link C++ binaries because missing of references to the C++ standard library (libstdc++ or libc++).
