Development / Unified building

« on: January 14, 2011, 03:48:08 pm »

Dear all,

currently, there are three building systems:

• Visual Studio
• Makefile
• CMake

Interestingly, the last one is capable of generating the both above.
(see http://stackoverflow.com/questions/395169/using-cmake-to-generate-visual-studio-c-project-files)

Please, is it possible to focus on one, preferably a portable, build system?

Development / Commandline-only interface, --help argv

« on: December 14, 2010, 12:09:47 pm »

Hi,

I'd like to propose two functionalities:

1) While the NCurses gui is nice, I'd like to use a command-line (i.e., stdout)
    only version. This is useful when using tools like daemontools, that keep
    programs running as daemons and can take care of logging.

2) It is common to have a --help switch for the basic usage of a tool,
    hence, having a --help switch would greatly improve the `first-run-experience`.


So Long,
