Hi,

End users don't have to install Bakefile. That's the whole point of
Bakefile, it generates native makefiles that don't depend on anything
non-native. I would think it's pretty clear from the description at
bakefile.sourceforge.net, but maybe I'm too used to the concept:
Bakefile is cross-platform, cross-compiler native makefiles
generator. It takes compiler-independent description of build
tasks as input and generates native makefile (autoconf's
Makefile.in, Visual C++ project, bcc makefile etc.).
Bakefile's task is to generate native makefiles, so that people
can keep using their favorite tools. There are other
cross-platform make solutions, but they either aren't native and
require the user to use unfamiliar tools (Boost.Build) or they are
too limited (qmake).
Regards,
Vaclav
