I'll do some more research on project formats, although CMake is a good option for C++

Also, AS3 is probably easiest to be distributed through an .swc file: http://old.haxe.org/manual/swc

Argh, right, I actually mean swc instead of swf :p

apt-get is one way to distribute C++ libs.

Another issue is the mass of platform settings.

• C# comes in different flavors... for Windows, Linux, Framework X.Y.Z, Net Standard X.Y...
• Java 1.6, 1.7... and so on
• Python 2.7 or 3.X

It would be great to have an own package distribution server for each platform, I guess.

For most targets you have actually two options

1. Compile the native code
2. Compile C code and create bindings, which should be faster I guess.

In C# there exists "dotnet new ..." to create new applications.
