Wildcards help so you don't have to repeat yourself, and you probably want variables as well, but you can safely skip features like vpath unless you run into a makefile that uses them. - Josh Triplett___ psas-avionics mailing list psas-avionics@lists.psas.pdx.edu http://lists.psas.pdx.edu/mailman/listinfo/psas-avionics

[psas-avionics] makefile and make
Hi, I am going through this ginormous tutorial on make-file and make which makes me ask "Do I need to make thorough inroads into the topic or knowing what it is sufficient ? Would it be enough to know how to write a make-file or should I worry about things like wildcards, vpath ?"
