Dev Notes

Replacment for Make and Autoconf: MakeMe

(If you don't have root but have Android 4+ you can use the command-line program adb from the Android SDK platform tools to make backups via a desktop computer)

Dev Tools

Alternative languages:

• D : better than C, but not over-the-top like C++? Covers only Win and Linux
• Vala : Kinda like C# but for Gnome. Covers Win and Linux. (Android maybe through NDK).
• Java: Kinda over the top and heavy. Covers Win and Linux. Android yes, but different GUI library. iOS probably yes.
• Python: scripting language. Win, Linux. Android maybe... iOS maybe...
• Javascript: scripting language. ALL PLATFORMS.

Other options:

• Python with Kivy
• Haxe

Build Tools

• MakeKit - autotools look & feel but lighter
• mobs: autoconf workalike.
