It's time for me to chime in even though I fear this is heading straight for the bike shed ;-) I have found autotools useful for handling situations that go beyond the normal self hosted build, especially when cross compiling for embedded systems. But, I must say they're the opposite of "stable" as far as I'm concerned. Upgrade one piece and the whole thing breaks down horribly. And constant churn means one must upgrade. Gettext and the related tools seem to be the worst. I've never heard of mezon; if looking for a buildtool in python, why not scons? I've used scons and I liked it the best of any build tools. But in the context of geeqie, I'd say don't fix it as long as it's not broken. If it breaks, we can return to this discussion. -- Please *no* private Cc: on mailing lists and newsgroups Personal signed mail: please _encrypt_ and sign Don't clear-text sign: http://cr.yp.to/smtp/8bitmime.html ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Geeqie-devel mailing list Geeqie-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/geeqie-devel
