TUP looks great.  I've a fairly large and ever growing project (500
source files, 150 directories) I need to frequently build.

But having to install FUSE is a major problem.  On Mac OSX, it appears
to require a kernel extension.  On FreeBSD, there are other problems.

It's a clever idea using a filesystem to intercept the compiler, but
ultimately, a complexity which makes Tup an unworkable solution for some
people.

Recentyl I was thinking whether it would be possible to make tup work on Linux and other systems in the way it works on Windows - that is by hooking all system calls that are used to access file (open, close, read, write, ...). If such hooks are possible on other systems, then this appears to be simpler and less problematic than FUSE... On Windows it "just works" (apart from the lacking 64-bit support and no support for variants).

It would be really nice to see tup popularity growing, as it really is a great idea!

FCh
