What part of the build process is different for C?
1 comments

I explained why C/C++ rubbed op the wrong way. It has nothing to do with a build process.

It is probably true that more average C programs can be built with plain Makefiles or even without a Makefile than C++, though.

You can of course add dependencies on configure scripts, m4, cmake, go, python or rust when building a plain self-contained C program and indeed many do.

Well the post is about build tools, so I assumed we were talking about that.
