Suports libtool, msvc, netware, plain gcc. Also supports gcj ( with few workarounds it can natively build ant, tomcat, crimson - but not everything works very well ). We're still testing it on the various platforms tomcat/apache is used, but so far things seems to work pretty well. One limitation is that it can't generate exe ( since all we need is .so/dll/nlm files ). Dependencies are a bit 'rough' ( i.e. if any .h file changes, everything is recompiled ). Of course, it would be great to integrate/merge the tasks. Costin -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: For additional commands, e-mail:
