Comments welcome! The URL may change. I'll eventually put it on the wiki, or (since I prefer the GPL to the GFDL) put a link to it from the wiki once it's stable.

Hi Sanjoy, make is really a very useful tool for nearly everything that has some complexity. I'm currently trying to replace several shell scripts (clean, xslt calls,..) with a single Makefile. So thanks for your very good introduction in the usage of make. Just some quick notes: - the 'last section' link for the impatient is not working - I missed variables (for file lists, command lines, whatever) - a link to http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html For all Windows (XP) users without make there is http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml (quite old, but working). Best, Peter
