  • C++ Papercuts
    As the name suggests, this wraps the whatever build system that the dependency is using rather than replacing it with Meson. Say if you depend on Boost and Qt, you will end up using both Boost Build and CMake in addition to Meson (most likely there will be a couple of more build systems if you are also building Boost's and Qt's own dependencies such as ICU).

I could build godot-cpp in CMake and then link to it using my project under build2 but I kind... Source: 11 months ago
