Optional dependencies can be a mixed bag, but aren't always simply a matter of choice. Sometimes you might want to only build part of a large package, which in its entirety provides more functionality than you need. Sometimes dependencies might only be necessary to provide functionality lacking f

Hmm.. interesting concept, but it does raise a few questions for me. I'm no expert, but know enough about supposed compiler-agnostic build systems to know I wouldn't like to design one myself. ;) Firstly, it strikes me that "what" and "how" are a bit mixed up in the XML with the inclusion of even

Rafael and I have spent a bunch of time over the last several days hashing out an idea for the 'spec' file format for the mkSpec tool. The idea with these files, is that they are a coapp-specific, compiler independent way of looking at project files that can be used by another tool to generate
