a modern toolchain is not simple.
yeah ...; and from what I see our project files are already broken even
when not converted and used directly with MSVC6, f.e. when doing a
release build a bunch of files land in the debug folder, and finally at
linking stage it breaks ...
probably we should think about moving either to plain Nmakefiles (as
Pierre Joy also suggested), or add a Cmake build system; for me SCon is
no alternative since I saw it too often already fail on modern Linux
boxes (with other projects), so I have no hope that it works any better
on Windows ...
and regarding trunk: AFAICT there are no improvements (what I mentioned
above was with trunk) ...
Gün.
