Summary: Extend the Overview chapter Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Sat 09 Oct 2021 03:34:54 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Documentation Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: None Operating System: None Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: I'm kindly offering this proposal for the Overview chapter. Feel free to reword it, or use it in any way, shape, or form. As per the commit message: I spent a surprising amount of time pondering what the hell is going on, when I have had already run and edited countless Makefiles. The manual is large, and it's an enormous amount of effort to extract this understanding from it, especially when you just want to quickly compile something, but it fails. I believe that these few sentences have a very high value/time ratio for someone who has just saw their very first Makefile in their lives. Keep in mind that each day there are untold number of children who try to compile something for the first time in their lives... but then it fails. * doc/make.texi (Overview): give a slightly extended bird's eye view. _______________________________________________________ File Attachments: ------------------------------------------------------- Date: Sat 09 Oct 2021 03:34:54 PM UTC Name: 0001-Extend-the-Overview-chapter-in-the-documentation.patch Size: 3KiB By: None <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=52083> _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?61321> _______________________________________________ Message sent via Savannah https://savannah.gnu.org/
