CMake, bakefile, etc are just reincarnations under new names with less maturity than autoconf and friends. The problem is some don't like the more mature tools and many have tried to make a better mouse trap. I find nothing friendlier than autoconf when it comes to creating a scripted tool to generate a Makefile. Jam though is an attempt at a make process and doesn't create a Makefile, it is a replacement for make itself. Why use something uncommon like Jam which has a different syntax than make? Don't answer that, think COBOL, C, C++, JAVA, FORTRAN, etc, they all products for developing an application. Each has its own merits for existing. You either like it or loathe it, but each is a different color of the same bike shed. -- Earnie -- https://sites.google.com/site/earnieboyd ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Keep yourself connected to Go Parallel: INSIGHTS What's next for parallel hardware, programming and related areas?
