Ant + CppTasks + Ant-Contrib and CruiseControl and a bunch of custom tasks/types.
Each Ant project declares dependencies on what we call modules, which is an aggregate of the JARs, XML descriptors, C/C++ headers and/or Import Lib and/or .dll/.so's. These are auto-downloaded from a build server, usually pick up the latest available for a given CVS branch. Each project/module are under CC which pushes the module to the build servers. For compiling and testing, the module dependencies allow to automatically inferring the module path, classpath, system path, runtime properties, etc... Each project/module publishes itself independently from each other, so you can potentially have conflicts. To build a consistent set of modules, I've added another layer that (like GUMP) gets a clean sandbox of all the projects/modules (all using the same date), and builds them in dependency order, but this time without downloading the dependencies but using the one just built. So there you go. I've basically re-implemented a baby GUMP for our own purposes ;-) I got GUMP running for small pure Java projects, but like I said, it doesn't scale to native stuff... --DD > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Loughran [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2003 3:37 PM > To: Ant Developers List > Subject: Re: Ant 1.6 todo thoughts > > Dominique Devienne wrote: > > Thanks for the quick answer Conor and Stefan.
