THANKS for your VERY informative answer, it helped me a lot.
I was of the simple idea, that we pursued a simple build process made up
of
gnuMake and an addon to gather for the shortcoming of gnumake in respect
of
cascaded makefiles.
We are in the process of migrating from dmake to GNU make.
When that is finished then we will have essentially one single makefile.
Well, there will be one top level makefile that includes all the other
makefiles. But there will not one make process that starts other makes in
subprocesses. That would be evil, or so I have been told, see
http://wiki.openoffice.org/**wiki/Build_System_Analysis<http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_System_Analysis>
I am in the process of changing the l10n process. Currently it runs on one
makefile that searches all directories, I want to change that to a target
in every local makefile (build.lst).
I am aware of that and am glad that you follow this approach. I am
convinced that among a lot of other improvements, we could make the
localization process a lot faster by
a) using make (dmake or GNU make) for controlling what to do when and
b) by integrating it into the build process to update the pootle data
from time to time.
Can I attach myself to your progress, or would you suggest that I attach my
development to the current build process. my timeline is somewhat around
new year.
Conversion of Apache OpenOffice from dmake to gbuild is going very slow
at the moment. I am afraid that you will have work with the current
build process. But I am willing to help.
I hope to see your presentation on video later, due to personal budget
restriction (dont we all have that) I cannot participate.
Sorry to hear that, I would have liked to meet you.
Well if you come to FOSDEM, we can have a long chat. My problem is that I
am currently "only" a contributor so that ticket alone is 600,- EUR.
Yeah, I know what you mean. And I will think about FOSDEM.
I am also prepared for google/skype videochats.
That is good to know. Maybe after ApacheCon.
