In the SoX tree, there are currently support files for autotools, CMake,
and two ancient versiona of Visual Studio.
Out of the box, the CMake build fails, but with the right options it
completes successfully, for now. The Visual Studio projects are almost
certainly broken.
Maintaining multiple build systems seems to me like an unnecessary
burden. I am therefore tempted to simply delete all but the autotools
based one. If nobody makes a compelling argument for keeping these
extra build systems, I intend to do this next time a change would
require updating them.

Please do kill the VS build and the CMake build with fire.
That being said, I would like to replace
the autotools hell with something like
https://cvsweb.bsd.lv/mandoc/configure
- a short, simple ./configure script written by hand,
as opposed to produced by auto*

With pleasure, but I'll wait a little while in case someone has a good
reason to keep it. Given the lack of development activity the last few
years, though, I'm quite confident nobody will object.

While I'm no fan of autotools, the existing script works. I'll consider
replacements if maintaining it becomes too much of a burden.

It's matter of the OS, not the HW platform.

I have no immediate plans to replace the existing autoconf based build
system. If you're having trouble building for some target, please
provide details so that it can be fixed.

Hi all,
the CMake builds fails for you? I just tested it on Windows and WSL and
on both platforms the build completes successfully. As it works for me,
I'm in favour of keeping it. Which options do you need to pass to CMake
for the build to succeed?

It messes up with the gsm library.
The fact that it works for you isn't a particularly strong argument for
keeping it. Can you not use the autoconf system?

IMO without really knowing who uses SoX the most, it's really a shot in the
dark.
Personally, I think CMake is a way more capable system. But if the
developers of
SoX prefer Autotools, then go with that. Whoever contributes the most to
the project
should really have the final say, if you're not making the decision from a
user standpoint.
Just going on the fact that SoX is a C library that is licensed under GPL,
I'd be willing
to bet that most people who use it are also using Autotools.

I see the CMake system has been removed.
Can we also remove the ancient broken VS projects please?

Yes, something I did broke it even more than it already was.
