- I am looking around for a good MAKE for DOS development (primarily C,
- but I also use MAKE for various other file management tasks).
-
- I have been using the MAKE that comes with Borland C++ (2.0), and it
- seems pretty reasonable (It is dated 2/13/91), but I frequently hear
- good things about various other MAKEs, including NDMAKE. NDMAKE hasn't
- been updated since about 1/88, which makes me nervous, but on other the
- other hand, MAKE is not exactly rocket science to begin with...
-
- Then, of course, there is GNU Make, for which there is a DOS port. I
- assume like everything GNU that it probably has a zillion features you
- will never use, plus its own little collection of bugs to go with these
- new features...
-
- Any suggestions? (Am I fine where I am?)
- (I did look around on WUarchive for MAKE - saw some things, but nothing
- really grabbed me)
