Re: Alternative build systems

Hello. I have now taken some time and investigated some with a Makefile created with --disable-all. I noticed that basically everything seems to be compiled using Libtool, no stand-alone GCC at all. Is this normal? In the normal build process, it seems to always build with just GCC quite a lot of time. Also I have started with basic conversions as well...getting somewhere. So maybe I can provide a PHP script to convert the Makefile to a build.ninja file, as to what I am looking towards to. There is just one question I have left: Zend/zend_language_scanner.lo: /Users/Ingwie/Work/drag0n-php/Zend/zend_language_parser.h Zend/zend_ini_scanner.lo: /Users/Ingwie/Work/drag0n-php/Zend/zend_ini_parser.h Do these lines just mean, that the .lo files depend on named .h files? The only thing I couldnt understand yet.
