Doesn't work at all, I tried that already. [I guess the compiler alone would work, but it's not the compiler that makes VS2005 'great'... (even if the compiler is pretty decent, it's just not _that_ good that I'd jump through hoops to make it work on Linux or (worse) work under Windows. The _Debugger_ is a completely different story, though...)] > My point is that CMake generated Makefiles are probably faster than > autotools generated ones. Maybe there's something wrong with autotools > and the use of libtool for each and every file? libtool is a waste of time in the year 2007. That's certainly just my opinion, but anyway. I also believe the kind of variations between different version of Unix leading to and rectifying the existance of autotools are gone nowadays (with Linux as the only surviving variety, the rest is dead even if the coroner's still out in some cases). I rather have a fast tool chain on Linux and tweak it for some obscure half-dead system afterwards than sticking to crawling technology from the age of dinosaurs... Andre'
