Well, I have never used those, so I don't know. Surely those tools, too, tried to if not emulate, at least "simulate", POSIX in some ways? Anyway, my point with this: >> And when using a build mechanism that has been developed on Unix >> systems in general and lately Linux in particular. was that the build mechanism (including how a "make" program works in general) is designed with UNIX concepts/ideas/principles in mind. "But those concepts are intuitive, obviously the correct way to design an OS and its applications, etc etc". Yeah, sure, *we* who have been using UNIX for a long time think so. --tml _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
