I don't see any problem with it, but that doesn't mean that Walter won't.
Tools built for Unix never work right on Windows. It's why, for example, I run
git on Linux and
don't use the Windows badly ported versions of git. Tiresome problems revolve
around failure to
adapt to \ path separators, ; in PATH, CRLF line endings, Windows SEH, case
insensitive file names,
no symbolic links, etc., no Perl installed, etc.
DMD and Phobos are fairly unusual in how well adapted they are to both Windows
and Linux.
Gross over generalization when talking about _one_ app in _one_ scenario. You're deflecting rather
than being willing to discuss a topic that comes up regularly. You are also well aware of just how
often having multiple make files has cause pain by them not being updated in sync.
Does gmake have _any_ of those problems?
