Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 16:35:00 -0400 Date: Wed, 10 Sep 1997 15:35:57 -0400 (EDT) From: "Aidan Cully [Staff]" I hate to send this to the bug report address, but it's the only feedback address I could find in the docs.. You people should probably set up some mailing lists for miscellaneous info like this. Anyway, do you people know of anyone who has succesfully built KerberosV on NT using CodeWarrior professional, and where any project files that they've created are located? If you don't respond by Friday we'll just buy Visual C++ and attempt to use that. I don't know of anyone who is using CodeWarrior. We use Visual C++ (4.2 or 5.0 will work), and we use NMAKE files to control the build. There's a very good reason for that; the Kerberos V5 tree is a single tree which has to build on Unix systems, Windows, and Macintosh. Given that, it's simply not practical for us to use Project files. Consider: each time we add or remove a source file under Unix, not only do we have to edit a Makefile, but we would have to edit two (binary!) Project files for Windows and Macintosh platforms. We would then have to check in these binary project files into our source control system, and given that the project files are binary, there's no compat way to store them in our source control system. I'm told that Microsoft uses Makefiles for their internal, projects. I consider Project files to be nice toys for people who want to fool around, but if you're going to be maintaining a large-scale, serious development project, such as Kerberos, with multiple directories and supporting multiple platforms, Makefiles are really the only way to go..... - Ted Responsible-Changed-From-To: gnats-admin->tlyu Responsible-Changed-By: tlyu Responsible-Changed-When: Sat Oct 4 18:29:49 1997 Responsible-Changed-Why: Refiled State-Changed-From-To: open-feedback State-Changed-By: tlyu State-Changed-When: Sat Oct 4 18:29:58 1997 State-Changed-Why: response?
