Re: [Wxdevide-devs] workspace definition

[Tony R. <re...@al...>]

I like the XML idea. I wonder if it might be good to define the XML file for
the workspace so that it is compatible with bakefile. Bakefile uses XML to
define the build and will autogenerate native makefiles for the usual
compilers out there. It could kill 2 birds with one stone.
