RE: [cdt-dev] The Shell Game
|
Well, we (i.e. various people involved with CDT) have bantered about the
idea of creating any/all of:
- a new, completely Java based builder
- ANT based builder
- nmake builder
So far no one has had the time to take the ball and run with any of
these.
My personal opinion is that there is that effort would be best spent
creating an internal builder rather than spending it trying to do the
others, as none of them are a trivial amount of work, and an internal
builder would definitely give us maximum flexibility.
Some day, hopefully...
