Re: [reSIProcate] Build systems.
I won't address the autotools issue. As a user, I am generally happy
when autotools works, but I've never used it as a developer, and I
dislike having to figure out what went wrong when it breaks on someone
else's project.
As a newcomer to using resip, the only issue I have had with the build
system is that ares is needed, but not integrated into the
build/configure process. It took awhile to learn about the need for
ARES_PREFIX and to learn to run "make distclean" in contrib/ares when
making config changes because nothing else affects it.
Other than that, configuring/building it has been fairly straightforward.
