[Dev-C++] about makefile generation

[Luigi S. <gi...@li...>]

Hello,

I've seen that there is some interest around the issue (about 4 posts in 
one day).

In my answer to Mr. Codadeen I pointed out the program "xwm". As I 
specified, it is a small program that I wrote for my personal use. As I 
consider myself a newbie,  the program is very simple, it works only for 
small console applications (or at least I tested for that kind of projects).

Like newbies, I used to put together my simple makefiles by hand, until I 
wrote "xwm" to do exactly what I did before, its main (or better yet, 
"sole") purpose was saving me from typing.

I hope I did not raise some expectation that was then disappointed.

I've seen posts citing "automake" or "autoconf": I don't know much about 
these, except that they are distributed with Cygwin (and probably with 
Linux). A google search reveals that "Imake" is a "professional" tool used 
with X (so with Linux).

Probably these tools fit better your needs than my simple program.

Thank you for your attention.
