Oh! Why are you talking about the size of one of my makefile? Could you not understand that the topic is "the use of make in SDKs" not "how to actually write a makefile"? You disappoint me to think that the people here won't make the difference (I bet most detected your trick). Anyway, let's change of topic, since you want to do it. Let's be in the context of writting a makefile, namely in the context of SDK where full build time is annoying in the coding cycle, then we need makefiles to cherry pick what is to be re-built. (I don't believe it... I'm feeding that obvious troll/bot :) ) so... This is another point: it is way more suckless to write more but simpler code than writing less but very complex code. It is valid for makefiles too! (the obvious example is C/c++). In the context of a makefile, I prefer writing totally stupid makefiles, very easy to read, namely verbose, than one that will for sure make me pull the make documentation to understand what I did 6 months before :) Then if you look that makefile, it's a totally stupid one, ultra easy to read. No crazy targets/rules (damned! what is $& already! :) ) This is by design, you, LOC fanatic ;) >> Install windows and visual studio then. Subscribe to msdn. That >> argument is invalid.

You've been unmasked! For your information, I genuily hate microsoft/oracle/apple/sap... from all my heart. I despize them. For me, they don't register higher than cokroaches. They generate sooooooo much hate! That said, that part was dealing with "common practice"... you dismissed that topic completely... pfff! unfair! You slave of some "common" practice! ;) >> Then, you'll think I'm stupid, and I'll think you are stupid. >> Welcome in the human world. > > With the difference that I'm not the only one here who thinks your > makefile-concept is stupid. This is not stupid. It's just putting reasonably the line somewhere else to be friendler to the suckless philosophy. -- Sylvain
