The main purpose of makefiles is to make stuff, including building more or less complex software-projects. Even if a project of mine only has one source-file, I still write a makefile to accomodate to common practice. I won't stop you from writing shell-scripts, but I think it's really stupid and a waste of time to do it. If you don't know how to write portable makefiles, please don't start ranting on this great system which has proven itself for decades. > I started to remove makefiles from my SDKs.

I used to be a GPL-fanatic like you, but then I took an arrow to the knee. Cheers FRIGN -- FRIGN <d...@frign.de>
