Well, all I can say is - I will start using "build" when you make it work
with C, C++ and C#. Some other people will probably add JAVA to this list,
or ADA, or FORTRAN... - My point is - I dislike mixing stuff I do not need
to - GNU Make works pretty well with anything.
Sure I will allways recommend "build" to my friends who use only D in their
work.

Thanks for adding version ident export feature.

I imagine RDF's ( file:///c:/WINDOWS/TEMP/RULE_DEFINITION_FILE.htm ) could be used to teach Build to work with C, C++, C#.  To be universally useful, and not just for mixed-language D projects, Build would probably need some tweakage, but still.

I could be wrong.

Oh come on now ... why would I want to encourage people to use those languages?   ;-)

That is not a bad idea, Derek.  The same idea will apply for the rest.  Can you imagine say things like,

build myprog.c

and it will build it.  Or,

build myprog.java

or

build ... etc,

wow!  Derek, you have come up with something great, my friend.  By the way, I use it every day... :-)  I probably have the most usage from the group. :-)

Thanks Derek.

Well actually, Build can almost do this. You can use build to 'compile' any file explicitly mentioned in the pragma(build).

Look up the "Rule Definition File" stuff in the documentation for details.

This means you can create a D module that looks like a makefile ...

 version(build) {
   pragma(build, "images.rc");
   pragma(build, "special.c");
   pragma(build, "matrix.for");
 }

And it will use the rule definitions to determine if the file needs to be 'compiled' and how to 'compile' it.

I can extend this to command line files too I suppose.

That would be useless with Java. javac (the Java compiler) already does
what build does: you specify one source file, and it builds all
dependent source (.java) files, but only if the source file is newer
than the object (.class) file.

Why is it a powerful statement amidst J2EE developers? I can understand
amidst C++ developers, but amidst Java developers javac already does
what build does (see my other post in this thread).

Well, then we just have to let build call javac for java files to have a general solution. Maybe similar things can be done with other languages, too?
This way build could, for example, build some project with mixed java/D source files :)
