- Having to ship an external binary (or on *nix lay a dependancy). - Expansion (more syntax/commands) mostly via external programs. An own product can simply integrate required functionality. - Still needs an external tool (fpcmake) to generate the makefile, since the basic makefile syntax is not abstract enough. - Only old or bad quality builds available on non *nix. (Windows is ok though nowadays) - Integrating support for future expansions (like more complex library support) would complicate the current generator (and resulting files) even futher. - GNU. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
