-----Original Message----- From: owner-openssl-...@openssl.org [mailto:owner-openssl-...@openssl.org] On Behalf Of Mike Bland Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2014 2:24 PM To: openssl-dev@openssl.org Subject: Single-Makefile Build Experiment report As announced on the openssl-testing list, I'm happy to report early, promising success in my Makefile refactoring experiment. Here's the short link to the Google Doc containing all of the details: http://goo.gl/yhvCno Feedback welcome. Regardless of the ultimate judgment of the experiment, I'm hoping to build upon this report and produce a published article. Questions: - Do these results provide acceptable justification for adopting this structure? (With the understanding that I may have to redo bits, of course.) - Provided the answer to the first question is "yes", should I do whatever necessary to support BSD make, or will establishing GNU make as a build requirement be acceptable? Thanks, Mike ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org Development Mailing List openssl-dev@openssl.org Automated List Manager majord...@openssl.org ________________________________ This transmission may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law.
