	Make - A Program For Maintaining Computer Programs URL: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/feldman79make.html ODP description: Feldman 1979 - The original make paper, including makefile syntax, implicit rules, double colon targets, macros, VPATH macro, and the usual cleanup and install targets. Page title: Make --- A Program for Maintaining Computer Programs - Feldman (ResearchIndex) Page description: In a programming project, it is easy to lose track of which files need to be reprocessed or recompiled after a change is made in some part of the source. Make provides a simple mechanism for ersions of programs that result from many operations on a number of files. It is possible to tell Make the se
	Software Builds URL: http://www.codefast.com/index.html ODP description: Codefast - Contains many articles on software build topics such as problem scope, stakeholder design viewpoints, directory structures, architecture models, makefile generator tools and software build methods.

	An Automatic Make Facility URL: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/holyer00automatic.html ODP description: Holyer and Pehlivan 2000 - Program uses no makefile. It records manually-issued compilation commands the first time round, then rebuilds programs using recorded command traces. Page title: An Automatic Make Facility (ResearchIndex) Page description: A recompilation program, often called make, is a crucial utility employed by many programmers during the development of sophisticated programs. It provides an elegant method for the compilation of programs which are made up of many components, written in any programming language. In this report, we
	Recursive vs Non-recursive Makefile Architecture Speed Comparison URL: http://kolpackov.net/projects/build/benchmark.xhtml ODP description: Kolpackov 2004 - This document compares recursive and non-recursive build systems (GNU make -j N) for building 277 software files in 15 directories using various combinations of parallelism and hardware. Non-recursive builds are faster. Page description: recursive vs non-recursive makefile architecture benchmark
	PGMAKE: A Portable Distributed Make System URL: http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/470999.html ODP description: Lih and Zadok 1994 - Reports design issues and results of modifying GNU Make to do distributed makes using the Oakridge PVM Parallel Virtual Machine. Page title: PGMAKE: A Portable Distributed Make System (ResearchIndex) Page description: We describe pgmake, which extends the GNU project s make utility to support distributed job execution using the Parallel Virtual Machine PVM package from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. These two packages were chosen because of their high level of portability to di erent architectures, free source co
