as someone who knows makefile's inside out - and comes from a unix
background (love those old machines) :P a makefile/command line
interface is a total dream for me. i even use 'vi' to edit my files.
the difficulty you have with learning makefiles, equals the frustration
of relying on someone to build an IDE that can interface correctly with
the underlying compiler to do exactly what i want (and, not what they think)
>> this very seldom happens.
if an IDE is available, i would prefer to find a backdoor to call
the compiler tools directly so i can tweak the compilation options
to my liking. IDE's can cause more problems than benefits. i dont like
source-code level debugging, i have a bunch of other techniques that
work for me.
ps: installing cygwin + prc-tools = 10 minute job with latest cygwin
(if you know what you are doing - thats the big question *g*)
