Hi Paul (and others),
As part of my work at Boise State University and
Hewlett-Packard's Boise labs, I have made what I believe to
be valuable enhancements to GNU make. I'd like to contribute
my changes.
I wrote a paper describing my work:
http://cs.boisestate.edu/~buff/files/amake.pdf
It's only eight pages long, with three of them being figures
and bibliography. Here's the abstract:
A new software-build tool is described, which adds
automatic dependency analysis to GNU Make. It monitors
commands executed, programs executed, shared libraries
opened, files accessed, current working directory, and
environment-variable values. The problem and the
solution's iterative development is presented as an
example of practical software engineering.
Please tell me if you are interested in these changes.
I have not, yet, modified the texinfo documentation. If you
would prefer to read about my changes in that format, tell
me and I'll do so.
Thanks.
