I introduce extensions I have made to GNU Make which allow better error messages, tracing and enable the debugging of Makefiles. For anyone who has ever tried to debug a makefile before you'll know just how difficult it can be!

Thank you for your great video, it is of great help to me!

But it seems that you didn't show us what is parrot.in?

Thanks

Robert


Remake is great. Thanks, Rocky!!!

Are you still planing on part 2 of this demo??? Would be great!!!

I despise working with makefiles and gnu autotools because they have such poor debugging facilities. Your great work with remake and the bashdb have the possibility of making my interactions with these tools less of a chore.

Thanks so much for all of your great work !

When you make a screencast you should post-synchronize the voice track. When the author has to type, read the screen, navigate emacs and talk on top of it, the speech is interrupted all the time because the human brain can't do it all at once. Record the video first without the sound. Then record the voice on top. Buy the peepcode screencast on GIT, they are made like that and they are easier to follow.

Rocky. excellent demo; I'm glad I found it. If you haven't, do one of the debugger. We, at a large networking company, have fabulous recursive makefiles. That's in the fable about the software troll under the bridge.


Hi,

Thanks for your video .. BUT!

I tried the home site you show on the screen. There is only a make project. The file generates after the compilation is a make file and not remake file.

In the video we see that it calls remake!

Could you explain that ... Is it another project or what? many thanks ..

I haven't used remake yet - thanks for making the video - it helps me get an understanding of what remake has to offer

(I found your page with google search for

gnu make debug print )


Thanks for the kind words. If I do a second "remake" demo where the debugger proper is used, I'll make sure to include using it from ddd. (Although obviously I'm much more facile with Emacs).


Fantastic work!

I love to see make file is debugged from DDD, then my dreams come true :O)

Best Regards,

Kaveh Fazli


Wonderful demo, Rocky! Thanks a ton for doing this.
