I have a large collection of legacy mkfiles which I'd like to continue to maintain. I'd like to convert on demand from mk to bog-standard make with no gnu extensions. mamake seemed like reusable infrastructure :-) Norman _______________________________________________ ast-users mailing list [email protected] https://mailman.research.att.com/mailman/listinfo/ast-users
