Make, Ant, and others

[munzy76]

I just wanted to get some ideas of what other developers use out there and why. My office currently uses make, gnumake I believe, but we are going to Ant. Who is taking us to Ant? Why me of course!

We do a lot of Java and C++ programming here with a little VB thrown in for fun. I don't do any programming yet but they are hoping that this will help me learn a bit.

Can anyone suggestion something other than Ant and why would you? Oh, and it has to be freeware or at the least very cheap.

Boy, I expected at least gonzo to answer since we chatted about this. You still haven't given me that answer...you slacker!

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Umm..you haven't been online...err uhh....

I forgot what's it's called.....ant something...or something ant.....just search for ant and you'll find tons of different proggies, download a few of kazaa(usually they have a trial version or else they are free) and look at the features

 

[munzy76]

Bah! You were suppsed to check for me!

Oh well, I know not to rely on gonzo from now on.

Your sig is kinda long gonzo.

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

1) Sorry, unlike you, I'm human

2) GOOD!

3) Yours is kind of short, munzy

 

[munzy76]

Hmm, I am going to assume that you are talking about my sig...

Don't make me mushroom stamp you!

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

ROTFL

You decide that

PLEASE, let's get back on topic

Have you done the search for Ant and make yet?

 

[munzy76]

I don't need to; I have Ant and Make books and programs. ndering what other people use for development, hopefully in a business enviroment and not just at home. We currently use make, gnu make I believe, and we are converting to Ant. I feel like I have said that before. I wanted to get feedback from others....websites normally point out only the good points of the software. I wanted to know it all.

 

[gonzo_for_civ]

Oh shut up

Like I said, just do a search. Then, you could always TRY out the software...surely you can do that..anyone can do that

Trying something for yourself shows all points

Dork

Like I have that much time. I am doing most of this on my own time as it is. Like I said earlier, good to know I can rely on gonzo.
