Title: Not a good introduction
Review: I do not recommend this book if you are new to gmake. It breaks the unwritten golden rule that new concepts should not be introduced using more advanced concepts not introduced until later. Makes sense doesn't it? Yet this book does it all the time. I found myself many times having to skip forward to look something up, only to have to skip forward again to look something else up. And by that time I needed knowledge of all the material skipped. Chicken and egg. There's a hole in my bucket.I found it very frustrating.Moreover, you will need to be proficient in sed and awk to understand some important examples. You will need familiarity with lexer.This book may serve as a look-up manual for someone already familiar with make. But if you want to learn the tool for the first time, this is not a good place to start.
