There are not enough decent hooks in make to integrate it with a GUI*. It is fine if things _work_, otherwise you would have to litter your makefile with commands to prod back status to the GUI tool. *(And if there are.. my search-fu is failing me.. try "make gui" or "gui for make" in Google, and see the frustration. "make" as a program name is about as useful as "PCB" in this regard!) Perhaps I take this back... Anjuta seems to do a decent job of second-guessing what make and autotools are up-to from within a GUI. This is probably in part due to the predictability of autotools generated Makefiles. It seems to have some smarts to figure out which command line invocations are compiling what file - so it displays more intelligible output for these commands, rather than the whole GCC command line. _______________________________________________ geda-user mailing list [email protected] http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
