It's not encoded in an automatically extractable way. For example a Perl script in my project includes a statement open TABLES, ">char-tables.c"; but I don't expect a build tool to understand Perl and deduce that this script should be run to remake char-tables.c. And it will not know that sources in one subdirectory should be compiled using one compiler (the previous version) and sources in another using another (bootstrapped version of the same compiler). And it will not know the language of the sources to infer dependencies from them. So, how would I specify how files should be processed? -- __("< Marcin Kowalczyk \__/ qrczak@knm.org.pl ^^ http://qrnik.knm.org.pl/~qrczak/ ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
