Yup. All anyone needs is to learn Make properly once, which can be done from following a simple guide like https://medium.com/stack-me-up/using-makefiles-the-right-way-a82091286950 https://medium.com/stack-me-up/using-makefiles-the-right-way...
- naikrovek 4y agosure, let's stop looking for better ways to do things because this one 30-year old way is capable of being twisted into what you need, no matter what it is. I get the reverence around make but don't blind yourself to potentially better ways of doing things. I would even go so far as to say that intentionally avoiding new ways to approach these things will necessarily blind you to better ways once they do come along, and I wonder how many good tools have died because "[x] does all I need." (replace "x" with whatever you like.)
- ironmagma 4y agoIs there really any propriety around this tool when something as abysmal as autotools has to exist to generate the makefiles/etc.?
- FireInsight 4y agoThis simple-ish guide made me realise that make is not as suited to my needs as a mostly web developer, and that just would work better. NPM functions are doing just fine for me now, and some of the routines I'd map to npm commands anyway I don't know how much benefit it would actually bring to me.
