That or just clean up the existing makefiles (getting rid of
DMC make and using GNU make on all platforms would be ideal).
Or just doing nothing - while existing build system is quite a
mess, the problem is not critical enough to extend the
infrastructure.
As much as I dislike digital mars make, requiring GNU make on
windows would be worse. One of these days I'm going to rewrite
the dmd test suite to not require make at all, but I'm going to
have to figure out how it works first.
I think I'd much rather GNU make.
No offence, but there's no chance your little tool will ever get
the same test coverage or real-world use testing of GNU make on
Windows.
This is why I prefer CMake like tools over dub. Plus make -jX is
*much* faster than dub build (and SCons for that matter).
