TMKMAKE is not *just* for C/C++ I use it for all languages on the iSeries, including MI.

This is exactly why make (and TMKMAKE) exists :o) I have multiple targets in my TMKMAKE script file, one target to build the dbg, one to build all, etc. I just invoke the right target when calling TMKMAKE. One of the great thing about make is the macro language where common settings and things can be reused in different targets. It's very powerful. Another is the ability to see if the source is newer than the object created from it, and only re-build those, of course you can issue a rebuild all and have everything built regardless.

And although your project will be open source, I'm afraid without all the 'niceties' of make/TMKMAKE it will be ignored.

Just making an observation, that's all.
