some dependency statements and that's it! There's no way
that an IDE can write that kind of abstraction for you properly.
It's important to not think of makefiles like programs: they're not
programs. Trying to write an IDE that uses paradigms taken from
languages like C and Java might do OK for simple "stupid" makefiles, but
i
st you read the documentation that comes with the software you're
trying to build to see how to convince it to write its files somewhere
other than /usr/local.

gs like using an index mode to jump around, even more
advanced things like helping users find the matching ifdef for an endif,
etc. are all very useful.
I am saying that I think an IDE can help people edit makefiles but I
don't think that an IDE can build a good makefile _for_ you, so IDE
features li
ly, through automake, whatever. As long as it was drop-dead
simple to use and accurate; in this mode I'd probably never care to even
see the makefile.
The other mode would be a "passthrough" mode which let me write my own
set of makefiles; here I'd want as much of
it
expands to nothing.
See the GNU make manual for a precise description of when expansion
happens in various constructs.
