Don't worry, I have neither the authority nor the ability to change anything with the project unless asked! But I'm spending about half my time now rebuilding everything from scratch whenever I make a minor change, because there's no dependency management. (If you make a change to, say, systraps.h, you need to rebuild all the user-space programs, recreate the boot disk, and then regenerate the boot image. None of this happens automatically.) I wrote Prime Mover when trying to deal with a big compiler project that used lots of dynamically generated source files, lots of rebuilding the same source file with slightly different options, lots of cross-compiling big chunks of the tree multiple times for different architectures --- all stuff that make does *really badly*. Also, there are no dependencies! The whole Prime Mover executable is a single shell script that deploys with the project, so no installation needed. Basic summary and example here: http://primemover.sourceforge.net/about.html As this is a blatant advertisement, anyone who's interested please mail me directly so as not to spam the list. - -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ │ life←{ ↑1 ⍵∨.^3 4=+/,¯1 0 1∘.⊖¯1 0 1∘.⌽⊂⍵ } │ --- Conway's Game Of Life, in one line of APL -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iD8DBQFMBaCof9E0noFvlzgRAof+AJ9nX0KISNs+QBXkuCG+RrJSI6FPBQCgnaqr DLJ+rZWUoHvgQBhzKDRcu9I= =eZnr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Prex-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/prex-devel
