Re: Making a Makefile

[Tristan Van Berkom <vantr touchtunes com>]

        The other day I was making a makefile
(which needed alot of fancy little features
i.e. $(wildcard ...) $(subst...) ...)
and I came across this link:

http://www.gnu.org/manual/manual.html

I'm _realy_ glad to know about this link and
_realy_ suprised that I didn't know it beforehand.

search make-3.79.1 in the page (or just make)

I've never seen makefile documentation this easy
to use and straight forward even in books.

in my opinion; the above link is a _must_ for
linux/gnu development.

Cheers,
        -Tristan
