Learn how to JAM my friend! make jam; rm make (Score 1)

Why make when you can JAM! Jam will take care of all of this for you. You spend time creating your rulesets for all your different platforms/compilers and all anybody has to do is type jam to build, regardless of what they are on. I use (and have used) Jam for this purpose and currently use it to build .net C# apps and assemblies using MS command line tools. Previously we used it intensively to support C++ on both GCC 2.95 & MSVC 6.0 on Windows, Linux, and Solaris.
