That link doesn't seem to work. Try the following. http://lcgapp.cern.ch/project/architecture/recursive_make.pdf Alexander Indenbaum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Tzahi, I could recommend classic paper "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" http://aegis.sourceforge.net/auug97.pdf It describes a way to build Makefiles with automatic dependencies, meaning no separate "make dep" target. Non-recursive Makefile builds *exactly* needed files and only them. Saves tones of time and resulting binaries always consistent, meaning no need to do "make clean" just to be sure. The main idea behind it *not* using industry standard practice of main Makefile recursively running make in subdirectories. Instead single Makefile should be used which includes subdirectory's Makefiles. It makes a difference, because this way make program has a full picture of project's dependency graph. This model is clearly a beauty if you ask me. It is simple and it works. Alexander Indenbaum On 9/27/06, Tzahi Fadida wrote: > Hi, > I wish to learn more about build process/es.
