As I'm looking at porting ObjcUnit from OS X, I was wondering what you
guys think is a more suitable build tool.
I was raised on make, and used it exclusively until a few months ago
when I was put on a Java project. Although I initially balked at ant,
I've found it to be much cleaner and generally better than make.
Should I stick with make for ObjC stuff, or is ant acceptable these
days?
Obviously, given the mailing list you are posting to, I'm a bit
partisan ...
Use the GNUstep make package ... ot really does make using makefiles
very easy,
and provides a very powerful framework (in recent versions extremely
fast too).
It's rather like moving to Objective-C ... you get great simplicity and
power,
but can drop back to the original language to do various hacks if you
really
want to.
PS. you might consider porting gnustep-guile/Greg to MacOS-X
instead ... I looked at junit documentation, and it seems a bit
inflexible and slow :-)
