When adding Eclectus I had to edit following files: - config/gen/makefiles/languages.in - config/gen/languages.pm - languages/LANGUAGES_STATUS.pod Adding info to LANGUAGES_STATUS.pod is reasonable. config/gen/languages.pm handles the configuration of languages. Primarily configuration is the generation of the file LANGUAGE/Makefile. I propose that languages should follow the 'dotnet' way, that does configuration with: cd LANGUAGE; perl Configure.pl. Thus gen::languages could simply loop through the the subdirs of the 'languages' directory. The language specific targets of 'languages/Makefile' could also be generated from a loop over the subdirs of 'languages'. The root Makefile also has a list of generated Makefiles of the languages. This list could be done away with, with cleaning up is done with 'make languages-realclean'. Any comments ? -- /* [EMAIL PROTECTED] */
