Make files not war: How to write short, readable makefiles that work
Make files not war: How to write short, readable makefiles that work
This article tries to explain make and it’s makefiles in slightly different terms than the original documentation or even most tutorials. It took me a long time to understand how to write short, simple and understandable makefiles that work, and I hope this article may help people by providing another view.
This article assumes a Linux system and GNU make, though I will discuss some of the differences concerning Windows and BSD.
