[erlang-questions] Erlang make out

[lloyd@REDACTED]

Hello,

A heap of Googling and a recent thread on Erlang Questions suggests that there is little unanimity on the best way to organize and make large (multiple application) Erlang systems--- Erlang make, GNU make, Sinan, Rebar, erlang.mk, erl.mk, yada, yada. Enough to give a noob a colossal headache.

Two questions:

1) Is this a matter of reinventing the wheel? Or are there sound technical reasons for so many options?

2) Is there an emerging consensus?

Thanks,

LRP
