Might be best if someone with a lot of GYP experience responded to this. Someone brought up using GYP on the WebKit mailing list.

It's true that some parts of the .vcproj files are hard to edit by hand (e.g., the pre- and post-build event commands). But it's actually easier to add/remove source files from them than it is to do the same to an Xcode project. I guess your argument applies to Xcode project files, too. If you think something like GYP would be a good solution for WebKit, it would be helpful for you to provide an overview of how the system works and how using it would make things easier for WebKit developers. -Adam _______________________________________________ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-...@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Chromium Developers mailing list: chromium-dev@googlegroups.com View archives, change email options, or unsubscribe: http://groups.google.com/group/chromium-dev -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
