Hello Honza

In this case the mix is:
- The main() is inside a non U++ .cpp file
- Other non U++ .cpp and .o files have to be linked
- Some of these .cpp files call U++ libs

Is it possible to use umk in this case?

I don't see any reason why it would be a problem. The only obstacle is that you'd have to provide .upp file. You could do this in theide or manually. Just create main package containing all the non-U++ code and make it depend on the U++ packages it uses. Both umk and theide don't really care if the code is U++ or not.

Of course if the non-U++ part already uses some build system, this could mean duplicating some work. In that case, it might (or might not) be better to try to incorporate it into the other build system using the dummy project approach that you described above...
