It scales far better than scons did.</p><p>I still use make for many things, for example, I have a make based mp3 and flac file converter/tagger which parallelizes well (make -j 4 is a nearly linear speedup on a quad core, and interestingly, sorting output files by extension and running the mp3 converter in parallel is much faster than sorting by name and doing the conversions on a single file - in other words, it's program parallel rather than data parallel)</p><p>The only problem with it is that it is very dependent on the filename syntax not containing any special characters like space or &amp;.</p><p>My problem with adopting any build or source code management system is the size of the builds I do. They have to handle large numbers of files, parallelize well, and run fast. </p>davetahtSun, 19 Jul 2009 10:34:15 -0000
