GNU Make works very well for C files on a *nix-like system. It can be extended for other environments, but Ant was built on the realization that a cross-platform language (e.g. Java) should have cross-platform build tools. So Make can be made to work, but Ant is probably a better choice. <snip> - -- When someone says "I want a programming language in which I need only say what I wish done", give him a lollipop. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.4 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1uowQACgkQqpueKcacfLRkYQCglLMbT2d6RmgB1MmsRDdknyaf ITAAoK5uhpLRxcIE0f0iyjxObhBfqe8U =IWsW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
