ah, that's exactly why i migrated to jam! i got bored of manual
dependency control, and jam file scanning works reasonably well (for c
and c++, i'm yet to finish D scanner -- it should understand what
package.d is). now i'm just writing something like
Main myproggy : main.d module0.d module1.d ;
and that's all. or even
Main myproggy : [ Glob . : *.d : names-only ] ;
and for projects which contains some subdirs, libs and so on it's still
easy.
i never tried jam on really huge projects, but i can't see why it
shouldn't be good, as it supports subdirs without recursion and so on.
jam is still heavy file-based and using only timestamps, but it's only
'cause i'm still not motivaded enough (read: timestamps works for me).
p.s. i'm talking about my own fork of 'jam' here. it's slightly
advanced over original jam.
p.p.s. i patched gdc to emit all libraries mentioned in
`pragma(lib, ...)` and my jam understands how to extract and use this
information.
