Here is a typical failure output:

Thanks Fernando,
GYP does look interesting, at a high level. I notice it is hosted at Google
and not completely spun out as an open-source project. Still ...
There is an interesting mention of GYP use of Ninja in hybrid projects, with an
apparently-extraordinary improvement in [incremental] bu
I think there are pathname parsing issues in MingW, although I don't think
anything is as contorted as with cygWin. These usually arise because of the
shell being used, that then leads them to rewrite command lines when calling a
native utility. It seems that is the top of the slippery slope.
Thanks Stephen,
I've been looking at interactionhandler.cxx today and I believe the best way
forward is to take the uui source implementation as a base and then
refactor, replacing all of the XDialog-derived classes with classes that
query for the same information through an interface passed in as
Some ideas:

levels to compare. Technology. All three are "code/community" contributions to

It is now time that folks start looking at right-sized projects that could be
mentored and made available to students participating in Google Summer of Code

There is also a discussion, as part of community development, on mentoring

Hi again;

The linked page includes a reference for a Video on migrating a large
C++ codebase, and a training course whose topics include creating
multiple versions for multiple platforms. That all looks encouraging.

Hi Damjan,
Have you looked at Gradle for C/C++ ?
I don't have experience with it for C/C++or codebases of this size, but
using it for Java and Groovy it is pretty simple and powerful.
It's also Apache licensed :)

I agree that an IDE is important - for development. Building the whole of
AOO in an IDE seems impractical and awkward. Eclipse CDT already works well
as an IDE on all platforms (
