FWIW, I made tiny "build system" (inspired by kconfig) for smaller projects I work on: http://pasky.or.cz/~pasky/dev/tunneler/co/Makefile http://pasky.or.cz/~pasky/dev/tunneler/co/Makefile.lib http://pasky.or.cz/~pasky/dev/tunneler/co/client/Makefile Perhaps someone might find that a nice base for further hacking. It generally appears to work pretty well in practice, although the automatic dependency tracking might not be perfect. -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ If you want the holes in your knowledge showing up try teaching someone. -- Alan Cox - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
