Quote

John F. Kennedy

There is no strife, no prejudice, no national conflict in outer space as yet. Its hazards are hostile to us all. Its conquest deserves the best of all mankind, and its opportunity for peaceful cooperation may never come again. But why, some say, the moon? Why choose this as our goal? And they may well ask why climb the highest mountain. Why, 35 years ago, fly the Atlantic? Why does Rice play Texas?

We choose to go to the moon. We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too.

make is a GNU tool for automating the build process on unix machines. It is normally used for compilation and configuration of C programs but can also be used for other languages and other maintenance tasks (such as dependent file changes.) Oreilly has an intro to make tutorial that is worth a look if you are not already familiar and use or administer and unix flavor.

make has some shortcomings, and hence there are other alternatives such as ant by the apache group, but make is the standard and its essential to understand it.

Check the tutorial via the link. Thanks to SolarisCentral for the story lead. Intro to make: Oreilly
