Roy,
Having just read a biography of John Forbes Nash, I have but a wisp of
understanding of what a Banach space is.
However, you echo what I already said. Make is unlike any other tool in
the unix world. I think you could write a white paper on this,
seriously; like, entitled "where the hell did Make come from?" because
it's actually an example of how diverse a genius (or sadist,
depending on your prespective. I prefer the former) RMS is. It
resembles, at times, treatise on lingusitics. But I digress.
The makefile I used to compile Tomcat is thus:
---------8<----------
# Keep track of the package name
PACKAGE=org.apache
# Keep track of the package version
VERSION=3_2
# where the maketools be
MAKE_CONF=./maketools
include $(MAKE_CONF)/config.mk
include $(MAKE_CONF)/rules.mk
---------8<----------
Can it be any simpler?
Now I know that there is a lot of magic in the MAKE_CONF, but then you
don't have to worry about that. It just works.
