Generation of Automake config? #7

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
This is an enhancement idea.

Our project is trying to determine whether or not we should abandon 
Automake in favour of swtoolkit.

http://code.google.com/p/synergy-plus/wiki/BuildTool

The disadvantages we have identified are:

  * We may scare off potential contributors (they'll need to first 
configure SCons in order to actually build the code).
  * Some Linux distributions will hesitate to use exotic build tools (i.e. 
anything other than the defacto, Automake).
  * Existing members and contributors may run into problems setting up the 
build tools, and may lose interest in the project.

I feel that in fact, all of these issues could be overcome if swtoolkit 
could generate Automake config files.

Also, we'd like it to generate xcode and VS project files, but we're not 
sure how :)
