I'm familiar to CMake and your tool looks like a lot its script syntax. :-) I've looked for something like this to automate the build of some projects I'm maintaining, so I have some questions: Could it build a Delphi-based project too? If so, does it allows to select the build for a specific platform/config? (e.g: Win32/Release) Could I link the build of an external 3rd party project to automate it inside a PMake-based project? For example, supposing I have a C library using CMake-based build, could this library be built while (before or after) the PMake builds the Pascal project? ( something like CMake's ExternalProject_Add() and, optionally, some alternative to ExternalProject_Get_Property() ) Please test if you like, comment if you have an idea or ignore if you're > not interested... > > Rgds, Darius > I liked it. (y) It probably will help me a lot to automate the build of interlinked projects simultaneously using two or three commands. :-) -- Silvio Clécio
