Make is a great tool and it is disappointing that CS departments ignore it. They use gcc and give you the compile command and never teach make! If students knew make then they could use toolkits instead of fritterware.
The tools that do what you want are fritterware that doesn't scale well. While with gEDA I can check a project out from CVS, type something like "make ChainTest.out", have all the subcircuit netlists and stimulus files built, data reduction programs compiled, SPICE run, data reduced, output generated... Now *that's* how you eliminate *real* tedious, productivity-sapping procedure. I don't even remember how all these machinations work, but I can read the Makefiles if I need to know. > > >> The other common complaint that comes >> from that direction is that gEDA is a toolkit, not an integrated tool >> (but I say Hurray!). > > Carthaginem esse delendam? Got the job done, didn't it? Does every EDA tool have to turn into fritterware for the computer illiterate? I'm grateful there's one that hasn't. John Doty Noqsi Aerospace, Ltd.
