I reckon its a great tool. The thing is, its approaching the problem from the other direction; instead of the configure script having to try and figure out where everything is, the Imake program tells it: "Well, I've got this, havn't got that, I've got this but its in a wierd place". And that is, IMHO, the way it should be done. Bruce -- Bruce J. Keeler (907) 337-8193 | "...and Bruce is in charge | Internet: loodvrij@cyb.fred.com | of the sheep dip!" |
