Discourage using configure/make to build Poco #4463

There was a problem hiding this comment.
I don't know about this. I don't want this obstacle for my own reasons but, more importantly, likely most packagers use make.
I suggest to just make sure the documentation is kept accurate and clear about cmake being the official build system

Linux packagers seem to use cmake (at least Fedora, Debian and Ubuntu). What about having just a message? |
Message only is fine, I think the documentation is the most important part, so we have no strict obligation to keep it absolutely immaculate - just RTFM anyone complaining about it. |
…pported build system.

CMake is officially supported build system for building Poco.
To discourage using configure and make, a warning is printed and the user has to explicitly force usage of configure script.
