...of social progress happens only through generational turn-over. I?d prefer that Linux keeps moving forward faster than generational speed. That means we cannot allow change to be delayed until those currently using the existing tech get done with their careers in tech. Technology is a field for unabashed neophiles. My definition of ?technology? is the set of things that don?t work reliably yet. Once a thing has been perfected, it stops being tech. *Pencils* were once high-tech. Computers? We?re still working on that one.

I've tried this before and given up. The current makefile system HEAVILY depends on GNU Makef features (unabashedly) and there are many GNU functions that just have no equivlanet in nmake. > >>Until then, I strongly suggest a repository for the msvc project files until >>we'll come with a lasting solution.

I was obviously fascinated by Duncan's earlier message on RXLisp. I managed to build a working version of RXLisp for OS X, by some unabashed and rather uninformed hacking. I compiled XLISP-STAT using the gcc flags -fno-common and --no-cpp-precomp (not sure if they are necessary or not, they are part of an older hack). I "make libxlisp.so", using Duncan's replacement for the three XLS files (I am not sure if these are ne...

I've come over an open source script which should be able to convert unix (gnu?) like makefiles to nmake. However, It possible needs some changes to work with the llvm makefile framework. Until then, I strongly suggest a repository for the msvc project files until we'll come with a lasting solution. It is natural that we, msvc guys, should keep these files in shape. Henrik.
