I agree that cmake is the way to go.

Cmake is more or less the standard among c/c++ projects these days. Not because it’s the fastest or the easiest. Mainly because it’s the most feature complete build tool. Gnome switched to meson some time back but I still find mesons lacking in some areas. 

If we are going to switch I’d suggest going with cmake. I can take a look if your interested.

Qmake is for qt, right? Does it build with cake now? How about visual studio?

As part of this pull request
Richel is adding support to use qmake instead of scons and gave some decent reasoning why it's useful to have. I don't have any preferences on which build tool to use, except that I think we should only use one. Having to maintain two methods of building the project and introducing that as another variable when helping people debug compiling issues seems like a bad idea.

Since I haven't touched c++ build tools in quite some time, what are you guys' thoughts? scons, cmake, qmake, something else? or support multiple?
