Andy Oram's Managing Projects with Make is my goto reference, but there's a market for a make cookbook, I bet.
on “Fast Crimes at Lambda School” ↗Managing Projects with Make 3rd edition http://oreilly.com/openbook/make3/book/index.csp This is the definitive reference to the software that lifts you from writing software to building software systems. See also http://bost.ocks.org/mike/make/…
on “Free O'Reilly Books” ↗…is just a short warnings about how so much of the above was GNU specific. I prefer the BSD make man page, but obviously that is not a good starting point for someone new to make. I recommend the book "Managing Projects with make" personally.
on “Makefile Tutorial by Example” ↗I bought what seemed to be overstock or maybe it was just being remaindered in a 50%-off Uni Bookshop sale about 20 years ago. It's a tiny (80 page) little book called "Managing Projects with make" by Steve Talbot and printed by O'Reilly and Associates. Most of what I know about 'make' I learned from this book.
on “9cc: A Small C Compiler” ↗It says that Archive.org is producing pdfs of these books, but I'm not having any luck finding the Managing Projects with Make as a pdf. Anyone else see it? EDIT: I misunderstood, it's at archive.org's openlibrary project: http://openlibrary.org/works/OL3823216W/Managing_projects_wi...
