should make be taught more?

Name: Anonymous 2010-04-11 22:16

It seems most sepples programmers just insert libraries into their IDE and trust their IDE to sort everything out. But shouldnt all programmers be taught to use make? I think programmers would have a much better understanding and control of resources and would be able to make more efficient apps if they learned make

Yes, instead of learning how to use a specific platform dependent IDE to build programs all programmers should also learn how to use a specific platform dependent build program that relies on text files, which among other things must contain tabs. Why should we make things easy to use?

Yeah, because it's so fucking hard to use the tab key.

If you don't see why FORCING PEOPLE TO USE TABS, not least in a build program is a bad idea then I don't think you belong on this board.

You can't make them make makefiles, that would make them make bad makefiles and get make errors.

Sup dawg we heard you like Makefiles so we put Makefile in yo Makefile so you can make while you make.
And now back to /b/

Students should be taught to make their own make before using vanilla make.

Preferably after they run over the interpreter hump (I'm assuming 6.001).

I use makefiles but not for compiling C or C++ because I already have IDEs that do all the cool things for me like scanning for header dependencies. I write lots of small tools in interpreted language for solving parts of problem and bind them all with make.
