Absolutely.

I'd say that's enough, no need to enumerate example targets. > Among its capabilities are doxygen documentation integration, Git version > control integration, configurable build modes (for debug and release builds, > for example), and the ability to specify most configurable options in the > top-level makefile. Good! > It also provides a C++ class library for use in client projects. > Run "make check" to see test/example C++ programs that use it. Why would I want to use build framework from within C++? Maybe you can try to answer this question. The note about "make check" should go into the README file, IMHO. > See treedb, meta-treedb, v3c-dcom and v3c-qt as examples of > projects that use the v3c build framework. Ok. I am still somewhat confused why the project v3c-dcom and v3c-qt carry the name of the build framework in the package names, but I suppose I would look at those packages' descriptions to find out more.
