Marco, I think it's better if we keep the discussion on-list. On 15/03/2008, Marco Moscaritolo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I had a look at its build system, and it definitely looks > > like it's pre-GNU and probably a pain to package. > > > Sorry, I don't undestand, you talk about wmake?
Yeah, I've never seen wmake before... but that's only half of it. Installing this thing is a mess! It really trashes your system configuration! Creates tons of environment variables, modifies your $PATH, expects to be compiled with its own version of gcc... I think I see now why it's not packaged for Debian. It's policy-breaking in many ways. I guess this is because it's such an old piece of software. The GNU build process was supposed to take away this mess. - Jordi G.
