I find that it's a bit like perl, it's way to easy to do something weird and stupid with it. But when you play by it's rules it actually works pretty well. Maybe CMake is better, maybe not, but I don't care much at this point. Not interested in putting in the effort. If someone else would take it on it may be different, but in the larger scheme of what Vuurmuur needs, I'd say the buildsys is pretty low priority now. -- --------------------------------------------- Victor Julien http://www.inliniac.net/ PGP: http://www.inliniac.net/victorjulien.asc --------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Developer Access Program for Intel Xeon Phi Processors Access to Intel Xeon Phi processor-based developer platforms.
