As a long term thing, it would be nice to do something to fix those build systems. When I designed the GNU specs for build systems, the idea was that every package should be buildable using `./configure' and `make all'. They could work differently inside, but that interface should be universal. Could you tell me the nams of 4 or 5 Java packages it would be good to make buildable in a reasonable way? Those suggestions would make it easier to recroit people to work on this. It would be good if they used different kinds of build mechanisms so a volunteer could have a choice of what problem to work on. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
