Hi Peter,
Thanks for the advice! My reason for suggesting SCons was that it seemed to work well with Yhc--of course what isn't apparent is the amount of work you put in to make it work well :)
It does work well, but we have a pet python developer on the team, and he's spent a lot of time getting it to where it is now, and its still not perfect by any means.
Have you looked into Bakefile or Interscript? CMake looks more powerful than Bakefile, which ends up using nmake on Windows, while Interscript is really a literate programming language with the ability to execute scripts. Interscript works very well for Felix but it is a bizarre system to work with.
No, haven't really looked at others than that. The original Yhc reason for going to Scons was that KDE 4 is going to use it for all platforms, including Windows. Since then, then dropped Scons and moved to CMake - I am just playing follow the leader :) I think Yhc will stick with Scons for a while yet, but if you do find what the "one true answer" is, we'd love to hear it!
It might be possible to adapt or extend Cabal, even...
As it currently stands, that sounds like a very painful way to uncover new cabal bugs :) Thanks Neil _______________________________________________ Cvs-ghc mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/cvs-ghc
