Chapter 11. Example Makefiles

The makefiles shown throughout this book are industrial strength and quite suitable for adapting to your most advanced needs. But it's still worthwhile looking at some makefiles from real-life projects to see what people have done with make under the stress of providing deliverables. Here, we discuss several example makefiles in detail. The first example is the makefile to build this book. The second is the makefile used to build the 2.6.7 Linux kernel.
