I didn't know we were that crazy. I guess so...but I still can't debug
and that is sad. No worries though.
Basically we choose makefiles as it is easier to work with multiple
platforms and independent of IDE's. We build with makefiles and MPW in OS9,
Unix makefiles and gcc on Mac OS X, and makefiles and prompt with the MS
Visual C++ command line tools.
We only use IDE's for debugging code and text editing. BBEdit is
awesome.
All platforms are built from the exact same source files. So, when we
add a source it is simple to add to all makefiles. Our entire product line
is built the same.
We are community source and this makes it super great for everyone to be
able to build without any hard setups. Just type a line in the terminal.
I guess that is the basis of why we do it, and we are a bit old school.
Cheers,
Matt Veenstra
