• Learn how to Prepare LaTeX documents documents, with support for METAPOST figures, bibliographies, and documents spreading acroess several files or directories (like a thesis).

• Useful scripts support you if you develop OCaml Software taking care of the compilation of programs, libraries and toplevels. Dependencies are automatically generated with ocamldep and parallel builds are supported.

• As a UNIX user you are likely to develop shell scripts and libraries or to have several configuration files so we help you taking care of them.

• It is easy to install elisp macros supporting your software project or being a project on their own.

The following list consists of projects using BSD Owl Scripts as build system. Studiying these examples is a good starting point to start using BSD Owl Scripts:

• Anvil, Bourne shell scripts
• Gasoline, OCaml
• Rashell, OCaml
• Blueprint, Metapost macros

Starting points for developers and porters

Be sure to setup your environment appropriately and to read the short description of concepts for our build system. Happy hacking!
