The problem with declarative approaches is that you cannot easily integrate configure checks, WAF solves this by allowing python snippets to be included for the configure check. I think we should really investigate WAF, and how to make use of the XML representation to integrate with let's say Eclipse ? -- Ali _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
