Automake is slow, bloated, inflexible and generally bad for large projects. That is an insight which led to the redesign of the PHP 4.0 build system a year or two ago. The list of projects which have discovered that is growing (Mozilla, PHP, Apache 2.0, and now even Subversion[1]). We still use automake for building Zend/TSRM. That is the artifact I want to eliminate. The current integration of libtool could be much cleaner, if I had complete control over what gets executed. [1] Greg Stein was advocating giving automake a try in Apache 2.0. He obviously reconsidered that position: http://www.advogato.org/person/gstein/ (look for build system) - Sascha Experience IRCG http://schumann.cx/ http://schumann.cx/ircg
