I was chatting with one of the Maven guys at ApacheCon and was told that although it is early days they have done some C++ projects. Although it might be atypical for a C++ project, it may make the integration with the Java project easier (e.g. when we want to host C++ components in Java or Java one in C++).
It might be worth exploring that approach. If it doesn't play out my (uninformed) opinion is that autoconf/automake is the most used mechanism. -- Jeremy On 1/19/06, Pete Robbins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > The current cpp SDO and SCA were developed using MS Visual Studio on Windows > and eclipse + CDT on Linux.
