Missing the point. Why should I be **forced** to use cygwin? At the
moment I can't avoid it if I want to use the prc-tools stuff.
You don't have to use cygwin. The developer suite uses cygwin, and you
merely use the developer suite. cygwin is just a DLL, you know?
Exactly!!! We're being told to use cygwin!!! Where's **my** freedom?
You don't have to use cygwin at all. From what I'm hearing, you don't
even have to install it -- it's all done magically by the development
suite installer.
-- Makefiles? Written by hand -- it's so *not* difficult.
And not **necessary** in more modern languages.
make is not a language-specific tool... nor is it necessary for any
particular language. but it is very helpful.
