Hi there,

great work, probably. "Probably", because I did not yet try to use your tool, but great work anyway. However, it is good practice in Un*x bases operating systems to allow users to install their software in private places, whereever it happens that they have write permissions. Know that this is a spare-time project etc., but having to install your tool system-wide in order to use it, well, this is somewhat low-featured.

Thanks anyway. I'll probably will take the risk, become super-user and install your tool globally. Cross thumbs. No flame intended. But global installs for ust for a command-line tool, well, that is not a necessity. As you do not use a GUI at the moment it seems that qmake might not be the best "Makefile generator" available. Other common project "supervisors" have easy to use "relocatable" prefixes built-in (GNU autoconf, cmake, maybe even Eclipse of Code::Works).

My next step: regret writing this email and try out the functionality of you software-piece.

Best,

Claus Heine
