Well, personally I have a simple rule: if I keep on forgetting stuff I learn about a tool, it's not good enough for me. With make, I could never remember $@, $?, $< and other syntax stuff. Not to mention that the whole tabbing thing drives me insane. This is reminescent of the old Unix days (somebody here ever tried to modify an old
sendmail.cf file ? :), and frankly (besides their unquestionable place in history) I don't think too high of them, mainly because I find them counterproductive. It's the same reason I'll never get along with perl, for example. And the list could go on :) I think we're progressing towards better tools, and although they are far from perfect, I get along with them just fine. scons is an example of such tool for me. Plus, on the more practical side, I could never do the kind of scripting I do in SConstruct with make.
Best,
Bogdan

Just a general question... Why do people hate make so much? Its extremely powerful and IMO easy(er) to use for dependency tracking build systems then any other language... Not to mention the fact that anyone that is already using GCC has gmake installed, where that can't be said about any other build tool...
Just my 0.02 currency units.

Under these circumstances I'd be questioning whether scons is the right tool
for the job. Tools are not there to make life difficult, and if one doesn't
work, it is time to find another. IMHO
Under the same philosophy of "doing the most we can in Lua", I've been checking the possibility of using
Hamster.
Asko is here in the list with us and is checking what went wrong with my first try on using it.
I'm not sure if it will solve this issue though, as Hamster is also based on scons.
