| Lbrycrd | https://github.com/lbryio/lbrycrd.git | ./autogen.sh && ./configure --with-incompatible-bdb | The build needs V=1 to produce useful output for the extension. Always-make is slow (triggers reconfigure). |
Yes | |

| linux kernel | https://github.com/torvalds/linux | make distclean defconfig clean | Always-make may trigger reconfigure for some linux kernel setups. When make is invoked by the exension (during configure or build) it may wait for user input indefiniely: watch for timeout bottom right popup. |
Yes | |
| lk | https://github.com/littlekernel/lk.git | makefile.configurations.makeArgs: PROJECT=armemu-test | build.log has no commands, it's too cryptic even if V=1. dryrun doesn't have this problem. dryrun has very long lines that makes parsing slow. Disable MAKECONFIGHEADER in make/macros.mk to fix. |
Yes | |

Yes | ||
| Mono | https://github.com/mono/mono.git | ./autogen.sh && ./configure | Can't use the build log because we don't support yet dolt (see split-fsharp.c). Dryrun produces useful output though. microsoft#99 Always-make takes long (triggers reconfigure). |
Yes | |
| Nano | https://github.com/madnight/nano.git | ./autogen.sh && ./configure | The build log is cryptic even with V=1 and the extension can't parse it. The dryrun log is fine though. | Yes | |

| PHP | https://github.com/php/php-src.git | ./buildconf && ./configure | Yes | ||

| semver.c | https://github.com/h2non/semver.c.git | Yes | |||
| SerenityOS | https://github.com/SerenityOS/serenity.git | Makefile not in root: Define makefile.configurations.makefilePath to "./Base/home/anon/Source/little/Makefile" and define makefile.configurations.makeArgs to ["-C ./Base/home/anon/Source/little"] |
Yes | ||

| vim | https://github.com/vim/vim.git | Yes | |||
| VLC | https://github.com/videolan/vlc.git | ./bootstrap && ./configure | always-make long (triggers reconfigure). the build log is offering limited informaion, needs dolt support. Dryrun output is fine. microsoft#99 |
Yes | |
