This is generally due to incomplete support in the tools, this is not a problem with general build frameworks per se. In systems such as Waf and SCons, the framework provides facilities for creating tools and for those tools to build DAGs that then get "resolved" in the second phase of activity. The language specific tool does things as a first phase of activity -- i.e. building the DAG. The tools should realize all the language specific things that that languages users needs and/or the language expects. Anything that is not handled is a problem that should be fixed by the tool maintainer. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@russel.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
