Abstract: The program Amoeba Make, or Amake, is being designed to fulfil the
need of a make-like configuration manager capable of exploiting the potentials
of the Amoeba distributed operating system. The major design goal is
to create a software configuration manager that is both easy to use and efficient.
The specification and maintenance of a large configuration should be
easy, and should be automated as much as possible. Furthermore, the build
process should exploit Amoeba's capabilities and resources ... (Update)

...of make rules: DERIVE exploits them rather more to extend it much further. The most radical make oid is Baalbergen s Amake [Baal89] which manipulates attributed objects stored in a specialised fileserver, and uses heuristic hints to aid minimal recompilation. There...
