....code trees rather than binary packages. These papers cover the patching of software for different host types, and the subsequent generation of installation packages [Sta98] The papers on user customization cover two separate areas of customization: Selecting which packages are accessed by a user [FO96, WCM93] and customizing application behavior [EL92] The package selection tools started as simple shell scripts that adjusted environment variables to enable packages, and later were refined to work faster and more flexibly. The customization tools have dealt with different aspects of making it ....

....automatic and fine grained will probably require some amount of OS integration. 6.1.5 End user customization End user customization, the process of setting user default parameters for applications, has been mostly ignored. A few tools help users dynamically select the packages they want to use [FO96] most have fixed the choice on a per machine basis. One old paper looked at how users customized their environment [WCM93] It would be nice for this area to be resurrected for research. Programs are becoming increasingly complex, especially as they add GUI interfaces, but the ease of ....

....between Make It and its users. These variables are very versatile in that they can be set globally when the user logs in, but can be overwritten with project, platform or compiler dependent values. This makes it easy to change the platform or the compiler, especially in connection with modules [FO96]. This documentation consists of the following sections. Chapter 2 deals with previous approaches to the generation of makefiles. In Chapter 3, we state the goals we wanted to achieve when designing Make It . Chapter 4 gives you all the information needed for working with Make It . In Chapter ....

....platform, make sure that you open a new shell so that your shell set up file is executed and overwrites the environment variable MAKEPLATFORM. Then Make It will consider only those dependency files which are in the corresponding subdirectory. A more elegant way to achieve this, is to use modules [FO96]. The reason for keeping this information in many separate files is that we then only have to compute dependencies of new files or re compute dependencies of files which have been modified since the last call of make. This idea is put into action by a simple rule which would look as follows for ....

In [BV88] a makefile generator mmf for C programs is presented. mmf does not rely on the convention that external functions or data structures are only accessed by including the appropriate header file. mmf either parses C code (which must be syntactically correct) to find ....

This makes it easy to change the platform or the compiler, especially in connection with modules [3]. This paper consists of the following sections. Section 2 deals with previous approaches to the generation of makefiles. In Section 3 we present the main ideas of the design of Make It . In Section 4 we explain what happens when the user types make after setting a project under the control of ....
