Of course I can get it to work, and it works well. Like I said in my first note, it's very impressive.
What I don't understand is the "motivation" or the "theory" behind how and why it was done. I'm hoping that if I grok that, all will fall into place for me and with that different perspective, I might find it easier to work with. As I understand it, it's really a "meta build" system, as it's purpose seems to be to create the actual ant scripts that execute to do the work. Why? Also, it doesn't use 'make' for building the C/C++ code.
