Sure; make is language-agnostic. For that matter, it doesn't even need to be used in conjunction with programming. I use make with LaTeX projects to generate the .dvi and .ps, and with docbook projects for the same purpose. I use make in my /etc/postfix directory to automatically regenerate the postfix maps and restart postfix if a map has changed. Any time you have one file that is the result of running a program on anothe file, it's a good candidate to automate the generation of that file with make. -- Dave Carrigan Seattle, WA, USA [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://www.rudedog.org/ | ICQ:161669680 UNIX-Apache-Perl-Linux-Firewalls-LDAP-C-C++-DNS-PalmOS-PostgreSQL-MySQL -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
