Make File Tutorial
Hi there!
I'm just starting programming in C++ and was looking for a good (if not the best!) tutorial on make... of course I had a look at Google but most of the tutorials only teach the bloody basics (which I mostly am aware of)...
Thanks in advance, Oliver

Which make are you referring to? There's at least 5-6 different makes out there, and they
are all different enough to be incompatible.

Uh, sry, meant the GNU make... there's some official documentation but faaar too long for my taste ;-)
Makefiles actually are that simple. Really. They're pretty silly.
The best place to learn about advanced gmake stuff is in the GNU Make documentation.
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/
However, if you want to get into the really advanced stuff for hardcore configuration and compiling, google around "autoconf" and "automake".
Take a couple of AlkaSeltzer or Ibuprofin before reading. Good luck!
