EasyMake – one python file instead tons of Makefile locs

• dozzie 10y ago
  First: Python, as a general purpose language, looks terrible in build rules compared to dedicated build tools. Yes, this includes makefile. You probably have just never seen a well-written makefile (programmers rarely think of it as a code, even though `make' is a programming language). Second: have you ever heard of SCons?

    Yep, sure. I _personally_ don't like makefiles because it's another language that's need huge amount of code (relatively to the rest of the code). That's pretty annoying And about scons: probably heard someday, i don't sure. Anyway it's look quite big

      > it's another language that's need huge amount of code (relatively to the rest of the code) It's the first time I see this argument. Does it mean you only produce scripts of 20-40 lines overall length? Why makefile for those?
