I need a "simple" buildsystem.

Hi,

Using Meson <http://mesonbuild.com/> is probably the best way forward: 
it's designed to get out of your way as a developer, is already well 
supported and integrated into flatpak, is widely available in all 
mainstream Linux distros, and will prevent you from having to re-invent 
several wheels if you do roll your own.
