I can't your point or the joke, please enlighten me ;-) make is AFAIK the most common build program, but that doesn't mean that the tool is ideal everywhere. Progress is possible you know, evolutionary or revolutionary. GNU Make has been evolutionary, Ant is revolutionary. configure management is certainly a lot more than configure. I would argue that CVS is the most important configuration management tool, but the issue is of course broader. But anyway this off topic, what need to have is a build process that works nicely and I think including the ant binaries(around 500k) would be the best solution here. -- Gunnar Rønning - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Senior Consultant, Polygnosis AS, http://www.polygnosis.com/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: subscribe and unsubscribe commands go to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
