  9. [This group is like London buses.  You wait weeks for an enquiry,
  10.  then two come along together ;-]
  11.  
  12. Does anybody have any good solutions to building complex projects?
  13.  
  14. I have built a fairly big system which uses Makefiles to build, and
  15. to keep testing times down I use the interpreter.  When I distribute
  16. I end up compiling ina higher-level Makefile having first built the
  17. system with the interpreter to make sure all dependencies have been
  18. accounted for.
  19.  
  20. Has anyone got any useful advcie on neater ways to do this?  Ideally
  21. I would like to use a single Makefile, but how do I cope with the
  22. problem that an program depends on the u1/u2 files when using the
  23. interpreter, but the icn files when using the compiler?
  24.  
  25. regards
