Subject: [Freedos-user] make-me crazy.
Ahhh, it's amazing; not one tutorial specifically for the dos version of
'make'; even what there is, not too
specific.
Just install GNUmake on your PC and go through some of the tutorials you can
find on the web. If your Makefiles are simply then you should be able to use
some of the very early make utilities available under DOS. I still use make
from TurboC 3.0 which works fine on a 8088 PC. Unfortunately the make version
supplied with TC2.01 is not that great but perhaps the BC1.01/OpenWatcom one is
better.
To wit: indeed, some thing you are trying to install,say , HX, GEM, etc.,
they do include makefiles,
but they don't tell you where to put the makefile.
As mentioned by Jim the default make file name is Makefile. You can call a
different makefile with the -f option.
Makefiles are very powerful and a necessity for a complicated software projects.
