So what I understood from the readme is that all dependencies would also need to be configured around Bake, is that correct? I guess this will be the main chicken and egg problem, as with other build tools, given the variety of tools that exist and are used across different libraries. Although I've found that autotools tends to be a common denominator in most of the ones I've had to work with...

A minor detail: the table under Template Functions is not properly formatted and Github doesn't render it as a table.

Thanks for finding the formatting issue, fixed it!

You don't need to specify all dependencies "the bake way". If you want to link with a non-bake C library (like pthread or dl), you can configure it like shown here:

It is also possible to wrap existing libraries in bake projects. This section of the README describes how:

Oh sorry, I hadn't read the whole document. Thanks for the link, now I'll finish reading it!
