OK, so I used to hate automake out of ignorance, now I hate it out of experience.
Still, that said, it does have some benefits. I think we could take advantage of it as a parallel-path build system for a trial period. Before I invest any effort in porting, however, I'd like to solicit your thoughts. Mine: pros: (1) its what people expect (2) make install (3) make dist (4) it 'does the right thing' for shared libraries and makes platform-agnostic makefies cons: (1) manually add source files (2) verbosity hides compiler warnings, unless using really new versions with silent rules ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
