They are trivial to program in a handwritten makefile. On topic, suckless programs usually make use of makefiles which are hand-customized, just like the program settings (config.h). For bonus points, use Plan9 mk. For my own programs, I prefer djb redo[2], which uses simple shell scripts and is better than GNU make[3]. About the Changelog/NEWS, they originate before the time of git and are superseded by git log/git shortlog. 1: https://9p.io/sys/doc/mk.html 2: https://github.com/apenwarr/redo 3: https://redo.readthedocs.io/en/latest/#whats-so-special-about-redo
