Makefile Wizardry

[Jim Harkins]

The best manual on make by far is from Sun.  Look for the Programming Utilities
and Libraries manual, Sun part number 800-1774-15.  I don't know if Sun will
sell manuals without selling the hardware but it's worth a shot.  Anyway, one
of their examples looks almost exactly like what you are trying to do.

Oh, you're not using Sun's make?  Well, I think gnu make supports all the
extensions Sun does and then some.  But their manual isn't as nice.  No kidding,
no matter what make you use I recommend getting the Sun manual.  (For gnu make
look into the sources archives, or write the Free Software Foundation, 675
