HOWTOs for Autoconf and Automake? [ 2000/06/24]

Why isn't make working? I modified some source files, but make just refuses to make! I've recently changed the clock but that shouldn't matter. [ 2000/02/01]

Managing 'make' for Large Projects [ 1999/12/16]

Distributed Compiling? [ 1999/08/04]

mkdep(1) - construct Makefile dependency list {oss}

make(1) - maintain program dependencies {oss}

OutMan - OutMan (short for OUTput MANager) manages output from command line based tools (such as make or grep). {(L)GPL}

BabyLakos: Makefiles for Levelization - This is a collection of files to implement a simple version of John Lakos' amazing book _Large-scale C++ Software Design_. The goal is to decrease the overhead of implementing levelization. {(L)GPL}

Makedep - C/C++ dependency generator - A C/C++ dependency generator for large software projects. Parses all source files in a directory tree and constructs a large dependency file for inclusion in a Makefile. {oss}

JMK - Make in Java - Make in Java (jmk) is an application which is used to ensure that a set of files is in a consistent state. The application is based on the make utility which is part of most Unix systems, but is designed to support the task of writing platform indepe {(L)GPL}

libtool - makes it easy to develop and maintain shared libraries. {GPL,GNU}

Autoconf - produces shell scripts which automatically configure source code packages. {GPL,GNU}

make - automatically determines which pieces of a large program need to be recompiled, and issues commands to recompile them. {GPL,GNU}

shtool - is a portable shell tool for use inside source trees of free software packages. {GPL,GNU}
