The Fourth Generation Make - Fowler (1985)   (13 citations)  (Correct)

....in execution time. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the features and operation of the standard make. 1 INTRODUCTION Since it first appeared in 1976 [1] make has changed little, and most of these changes have been syntactic in nature [2] However, the build variant of make [3] introduced a major semantic change. Build has viewpaths that allow source files to reside in more than one directory. Viewpaths support the sharing of source files between many users and help eliminate the proliferation of source copies. The semantics of multiple directories, however, conflict ....

A Case for make - Fowler (1990)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....compiler interface changes. make can enhance the development cycle by providing the thread to close these tool based seams. To do this with minimal user overhead, however, requires some basic changes to the make command. Such changes have been going on for years, but in a somewhat haphazard way [CF, EP, Hume, Palk, SM, SV1]. The following interrelated goals give direction to these changes. make must: easily scale from one to many users . do accurate change propagation . have sensible information distribution . run with reasonable speed . provide portable configuration management These goals are discussed in ....

....Past attempts to integrate version control and make have resulted in increased make complexity, mostly by forcing make to do the actual version extraction. A more elegant solution provides a unified concept of version file that is available to all commands. This concept, called viewpathing [EP], forms the basis of the 3D Filesystem [KK] A viewpath is an ordered sequence of directory hierarchies in which files occurring earlier in the sequence take precedence over files occurring later. It provides a logical hierarchy that is a layering of many physical hierarchies. Many users can ....

Workspaces and Experimental Databases: Automated Support for.. - Kaiser, Perry (1986)   (6 citations)  (Correct)

....negotiation among programmers. Make When requested, the Unix Make tool [3] rebuilds the entire software system. It invokes the tools specified in the makefile on changed files and all files that depend on changed files. Make is normally used to recompile and relink. Build The Unix Build tool [2] is an extension to Make that permits various users to have different views of the target software system. A viewpath defines the sequence of directories searched by Make to find the files named in the makefile. Viewpaths are similar to the underlying support for experimental databases. Cedar ....

Building Software by Deduction: Why and How - Singleton, Brereton (1992)   (1 citation)  (Correct)

....or on multiprocessor machines [Sequ87] The Rounder Wheel make oid [Hirg83] adds iterative constructs for applying rules to sets of files, and crudely solves the unsafeness of concurrent make invocations, not by locking the affected files, but by preventing other builds from starting. build [Eric84] uses a modified file naming scheme to overlay filestore subtrees for related configurations and thereby factor out common files. shape [Mahl88] is built over an attributed file system [Lamp88] and attempts to provide uniform treatment of several forms of variance. Its designers pessimistically ....

....mechanism for the odin cache manager process is TCP IP. If TCP IP is not available, set the environment variable ODIN LOCALIPC and Unix domain sockets will be used instead. 1. 3 Why Not Just Use Make The most ubiquitous build manager is Stu Feldman s Make program[3] with its many descendents[2][6] 5] 4] Although ideal for small projects, Make has two major problems when used for large or complex projects: inaccurate dependency information and poor support for variant builds (such as builds for different architectures or builds with different levels of compiler optimization) Inaccurate ....
