FTR, I'd like to sort of confirm Earl's findings...
I recently was engaged to port a BeOS/Zeta app to Haiku.
As the original was entirely built with BeIDE, I thought I'd just use
Paladin's conversion facility to move all the projects over to Paladin.
It just didn't work.
It wasn't just that the conversion wasn't perfect. The resultant .pld
files are text, so I thought I'd be able to fix any problems by editing
them. For instance all the relative paths were wrong, with too many or
too few "../" levels.
So I'd edit these to make them correct, and go back into Paladin --
which promptly *un*corrected all the changes I'd made! I never found
any way to overcome this.
Fortunately BeIDE works in Haiku, with a bit of hacking (such as
providing a '/boot/beos/' directory and relevant links), so I just went
ahead with that, and eventually moved everything over to makefiles.
