It's pretty complex, and I felt like I spent a lot of time debugging my build. It does make it possible to do things like build other kinds of software (with configure/make/make install). But building other software doesn't actually make all the software work together, so I was unimpressed -- it's useful if you want to build MySQL or Apache, but if you want to build a C library and get it linked together, it's not easy. If you try it, note that it won't install scripts unless you tell it to install the package (i.e., PasteScript) -- including it as a dependency won't include the script. You might have to jump through some other hoops too. -- Ian Bicking | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://blog.ianbicking.org --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
