Re: [GD-Windows] DEVENV dependency display

[Alen L. <ale...@cr...>]

Maybe not directly related to your original question, but some time ago
we've switched over to Jam for dependencies, and never looked back since. If
you need to keep track of several different platforms and configurations,
Jam is a breeze, because you can write your own rules, so for us,
per-project jamfiles are about 10 lines long; and they compile transparently
on Win32, Xbox and Linux for now. So we work in devenv, but all projects are
makefile projects handled by jam. I'd never want to click over all those
property sheets again. :)

Just my 0.02 cents,
Alen
