Actually I think the hole concept of autogenerating a

messy. Also I don't understand why there are no better make tools around
(or if they are why we don't use them). ReactOs can't be the only project
that need a good build environment, can it ?
The Linux Kernel uses a complex system that auto-generates a file that is
included into a top-level makefile and contains all the variables needed to
tell that makefile which of the lower-level makefiles to actually use.
The problem with this is that MS's "nmake" isn't as smart as classic
make
programs.

Dialup is like pissing through a pipette. Slow and excruciatingly painful.
