GUI-based build system

Hi,

Does anyone know whether there is any generic GUI-based build system
around? (Python-based would be great. Also, for now I am only looking
for Windows OS.) By "build system" I mean something similar the
"make/makefile" system, but somewhat more
generic/powerful/flexible/higher-level/etc, so that if you have a
sequence (maybe even some simple conditional branches and loops) of
system tasks to perform, you can more easily visualize the steps, and
perhaps resume from some middle point. If it has e-mail capability to
send out final status, even better. :) If it can work both
interactively and a an fire-and-forget stand-alone, even better. :)

(I don't mind writing simple wrappers to each individual tasks to
produce standardized responses for the build system.)

My guess is that there are many utilities like that out there already.
Another guess is that some of them use XML for task specification. One
more guess is that some of them are free. But, I could be wrong. :)

thanks,

Hung Jung

What I have in mind is about half-way between these two products. So
perhaps I should call it "Workflow Management System" or "Enterprise
Task Managment System".

In particular, GUI is important, and by GUI I mean you can visualize
the tasks including the conditional branches and perhaps even loops.


I could imagine that it would be easier for the group to help you with
ideas if you provided use-cases (so who will use the system to achive what).

Maybe you cannot disclose more details, but if I think it might help.

I would like to say a few (actually more than a few) words here about some recent discoveries I have made concerning the interaction of Leo and Python. If you don't want to hear an inventor enthuse about his work, please feel free not to read further :-) There are at least three, no four, no five, no six, no seven reasons why Leo and Python work so well together. Most are new (in my mind) with the 4.1 release of Leo. The first several...

I am wanting to write a database application using Python. I want it to be GUI agnostic. The GUI will probably be Python/wxPython, but I would also like the option of a Webbased (PHP?) gui, and possibly GUI's in Java or C++, Visual Basic etc. The Python 'backend' may run on the same machine as the client (thick client), or on the same machine as the database (thin client). My main requirements are:

Hi, First off, I'm just beginning .NET and GUI stuff and am very inexperienced. I have worked through a number of GUI tuts in books but all the GUI code to handle events for all the controls in these examples is always in the single file of the main form. What is the correct way to 'sub-divide' various GUI sections into differnet files? For instance, with all my anticipated controls, this one file would be hundreds if not thousands of...

This must be a common GUI design issue - whether to treat the GUI object which represents a thing as if it were the thing itself. I'll put it in the form which I've come across recently... I have a GUI which is a controller for an instrument, and I have a UserControl which represents the instrument. Imagine that the UserControl has a text box for the instrument frequency, and a button to turn it off and on.
