About This Webcast:
Expand your software build repertoire -- join us for the first in a series of discussions of practical techniques for enhancing and optimizing your GNU Make Makefiles. In this session, John Graham-Cumming presents three "recipes" for improving Makefiles. Recipe 1 shows how to find the name of the Makefile currently being handled by make; recipe 2 shows how a build manager can force an engineer to set the right options before running Make; recipe 3 makes Makefiles self-documenting.
If your builds are not as fast or as reliable as you would like them to be, this is one presentation you will not want to miss.
