Because gnu autotools blows goats. Oh, and the tab thing.
- gbrown_ 4y agomake != autoconf
- TylerE 4y agoYes, but 99% of the makefiles you encounter in the wild comes from autotools.
- dima55 4y agoThis isn't at all true, in my experience. If it's true for you, please consider that your issues are about autotools and not Make, and direct your complaints in that direction.
- stjohnswarts 4y agothe vast majority of the ones I encounter are from cmake...
- nrclark 4y agoI use Make for all kinds of general-purpose build automation tasks, and as kind of a top-level catch all. No Autotools to be found in them (except maybe if called from some recipe).
- tpoacher 4y agosurely it blows gnus rather than goats?

- nrclark 4y agoGNU Autotools and GNU Make are separate things, my dude. Autotools uses Make as the backend, but so do a lot of other things too. You don't need Autotools to use Make.
