Hi, for my projects I need to set some "exotic" compiler settings in case Visual Studio is used (e.g. "FloatingPointModel"). I do not expect Bakefile to implement support for each and every (rarely used) setting that probably is specific to Visual Studio, so I was asking myself if Bakefile has some "low level API" that allows to set compiler specific options directly by referring to them by their native name (like "FloatingPointModel", the name in the vcproj file, in this case). IMHO it would be a nice design to have a first low abtraction level, that still is compiler / IDE specific, and then a second higher level, that hides all the differences behind a common API. So rarely used settings like mine, that did not yet make it into the high level API, the low level API could be used instead. A little bit like Git's "plumbing" and "porcelain" APIs :-) -- Sebastian Schuberth ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
