> Do you mean add it to the readme on github? I’d suggest that, but I would create a section under ‘Install’ titled ‘Contributing’ and write the points you made in [How to get started with contributions](https://forums.synfig.org/t/how-to-get-started-with-contributions/13694) . If it’s okay, I can do the edit and make the pull request. > It is not deprecated. Some contributors is using it. Also it used by maintainers to build linux packages. I see. I’d prefer a single build system, but I think there are better times and places to discuss that, so I’ll be quiet about this for now. > libsynfig contains a large number of exported symbols, which leads to linking problems I actually noticed there has been a lot of activity lately, including improving the build system > Welcome! I appreciate that, despite writing an inflammatory post and behaving like an angry dwarf, so sorry about That @BobSynfig. I’ll do my best to be kinder to everyone. On the brightside, if I had not behaved like that I wouldn’t have gotten involved, so if I do end up being helpful I suppose it will even out. _Edit BobSynfig: Added lines to separate blockquotes from answers_ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.synfig.org/t/this-is-why-synfig-has-few-new-devs/13685)._
