Felix builds 'out of the box' on Unixen, OSX, Cygwin, MingW, Win32 and Win64. Do you know ANY other system that can build such a complex suite of software -- and test it -- on all those platforms? I don't. Over 6 months was spent full time on the build system. Interscript took 3 years to write. The interscript documentation builds on all platforms too, and the Ocamldocs should also do that. [Obviously Doxygen docs need doxygen .. :] Yes, we do have problems of course .. but there's no way to fix them unless users report them. -- John Skaller <skaller at users dot sf dot net> Felix, successor to C++: http://felix.sf.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by DB2 Express Download DB2 Express C - the FREE version of DB2 express and take control of your XML.
