Build System Success Curve
100% Chance Of Success 0% System complexity to get running How Likely I Am To Successfully Use an Open Source Project by Build System Type Checked in Binaries A Makefile ./configure random .sh file cmake Gradle Some random .py file Meson No build system (Just .c files)
A hand-drawn graph compares the chance of successfully using an open-source project with the complexity of getting it running. Checked-in binaries and simple build methods start with high success, while systems like Gradle, random Python files, and Meson fall toward zero. The joke is that increasingly elaborate or unconventional build systems make open-source software harder to use.
