Right; being the maintainer of ptxdist, with over 400 packets being cross compiled to several architectures (bfin, x86, arm, powerpc, with glibc and uclibc), I'v seen *so* many people who thought they could do it better than the autotools but forgot half of the use cases, that it really hurts. So IMHO, there are only two sane solutions: * autotools * kbuild They have enough critical mass in the community that they really do solve people's problems. rsc -- Dipl.-Ing.
