Any books about 'make'?

[pepribal]

I'd like to find a good book about the GNU 'make' and Makefiles. There is of course the GNU documentation, but I was thinking more on a tutorial-like or step-by-step guide. Sometimes the GNU documentation can be a bit harsh to read.

I'm interested as well in a good document about how to build libraries in Windows platforms in C/C++ (either static or dll).

What would you suggest?

Thanks.

just look for books regarding compiling

I bought the O'Reilly book "Managing Projects with GNU Make" but the author's prose is really, really dry.

you can try this book
Linux Programming by Example by Kurt Wall

Try "GNU Make - A Program for Directing Recompilation" by Richard S. Stallman and Roland McGrath. Free Software Foundation 2000+. ISBN 1-882114-81-7. I only own two copies myself - one for home, one for office.
