> Currently , I am using Visuall C++ [...] ANT by using <exec> task
1. ant-contrib.sf.net has a <cc> task that wraps cl, link gcc, etc.
http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/cc.html
"Java Development with Ant" has a chapter on this topic, so find
someone who has a copy and borrow it (*).
<cc> is very good, but the learning curve is steep. What you get
though is *reliable* incremental builds, which can be invaluable for
large projects, and a cross-platform build.
2. the rest you can use <exec> for.
I also used <exec>, to call msdev.exe with .dsp and/or .dsw file, as
Steve mentions in his point #3. See also the /useenv switch to msdev.
The Ant-contrib <outofdate> Task can be used to add timestamp logic around
the <execs> : http://ant-contrib.sourceforge.net/tasks/tasks/outofdate.html
It's really good. I used it for yacc and lex stuff, around <exec>, and
also around <xslt> stuff (since xslt computes dependencies in a simple
fashion only, not taking <xsl:import>s or multiple document output).
Highly recommended. --DD
