lighter: is just a bundle of 30KB of shellscript. and 1GB of work space. portable: it works on GNU/Linux and HURD, some BSD work done. easier to maintain: maybe this is not the right "word"
Seems about the same as for GSC. I was unable to use't on my GNU/Linux system, i had problems with some programs that doesn't implement some flags, You didn't report these problems. Do you remeber what flags, and programs didn't work? And GSC doesn't crosscompile from scratch a GNU/HURD system afaik. I started a branch for that, I'd like it to work much like `make release' in NetBSD's src tree, where you can simply specify which architecture you want GNU for and have it setup a cross compiler and use that. But I put that on ice for now, since it was to much of a pain in getting all programs working with a cross compiler. It is a feature which I really would love to have. > I'd love to hear what you consider `heavy, unportable, and hard > to maintain' in GSC. GSC only works on GNU systems. right? so, is unportable. About the "hard to maintain" I tell't before that i've used the wrong word. GSC is primarly written for GNU, it was mostly developed on GNU/Linux. And will work on any system where you have GNU Make, tla, and some other GNUish utilities installed. BTW forget this discussion. I think that if we do that, then we will end up doing this discussion at some later point in time. We seem to be having this one once in a while.
