Make It - Generating and Maintaining Makefiles Automatically
Schönherr and Wolff 1998 - A set of makefile dependency generator tools for working with files written in Knuth's Literate Programming style.
PGMAKE: A Portable Distributed Make System
Lih and Zadok 1994 - Reports design issues and results of modifying GNU Make to do distributed makes using the Oakridge PVM Parallel Virtual Machine.
Parallel and Distributed Compilations in Loosely-Coupled Systems - A Case Study
Baalbergen 1986 - Distributing machine specific compilation phases among machines with a distributed make program is about 3.5 times faster.
Make - A Program For Maintaining Computer Programs
Feldman 1979 - The original make paper, including makefile syntax, implicit rules, double colon targets, macros, VPATH macro, and the usual cleanup and install targets.
The Fourth Generation Make
Fowler 1985 - A new make tool with support for CPP, dependency generation, compiled makefiles, parallel execution, pathname parsing operators, and a powerful metalanguage for builtin rules.
A Case For Make
Fowler 1990 - Explains many old-make limitations and new-make (Nmake) features including procedure rules, accuracy mechanisms, viewpathing, and semaphores for blocking unwanted parallelism.
An Automatic Make Facility
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.
Distcc, A Fast Free Distributed Compiler
Pool 2003 - This paper describes a distributed compiler for C/C++ programs, and provides a good discussion of key issues related to parallel, distributed software builds.
Makefile Setup for Java
Geosoft - A GNU Make and shell script setup for Java. Features dependency scanning, class files, JAR archives, JNI interfaces, RMI stub and skeletons, and Javadoc.
Recursive vs Non-recursive Makefile Architecture Speed Comparison
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.
Recursive Make Considered Harmful
Miller 1997 - An argument against using recursive make techniques in the presence of cyclic dependencies among project subdirectories.
Compare and Contrast Lucent Nmake and GNU Make
Lucent FAQ - Summarizes the function and typical syntax of many make features, using a convenient table format.
Software Builds
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.
Ask Mr. Make
Articles on makefile optimization, build management and acceleration, etc.
