I have read about 1/3 of the GNU Make manual, do you guys know of any resources to really learn the Art of using Make.

Ideally, there might be some examples where two ways of doing something are possible, and the author explains which method he chose and why.

I am primarily using Make not to build C/C开发者_如何学Go++ programs but to operate a processing pipeline for data analysis.

Managing Projects with GNU Make, by Robert Mecklenburg, is the best I've come across. Plus, it's an O'Reilly Open Book, so O'Reilly gives away free PDFs of it on their website. Read it linearly, and start from the beginning (even if you think you already know the basics of GNU Make).

John Graham-Cumming has written a book called GNU Make Unleashed which looks promising, although I have not read it yet. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/gnu-make-unleashed/2937580 and http://jgc.org/
