[openbeostranslationkit] Re: Beautification / CVS / Jam

The biggest reason Ithmar was pushing Jam to us, was that it doesn't
require recursive makefiles.

Brian -

Sources:
/open-beos/openbeos/sources/os/kits/translation
Tests:
/open-beos/openbeos/sources/os/kits/translation/tests/<class>/
And if you need add a data file directory from there, continue and do
so. If that doesn't fit with how you wrote the test, let me know.

AFAIK, it's a vastly simplified 'make' tool. Supposed to be *much*
simpler
to create build scripts. Dependency checking in make is supposed to be
a pain in the a*s - with Jam it should be a breeze...

I'd use ANT - but it doesn't do C++ and is written in(and for) Java :/
