This “Makefile and GNU make” course is unique and not available anywhere else. Its a must(have to skill) for defining the build process for new product and understanding for maintenance of existing product. Subtitles are provided with this course. Why learn Makefile and GNU makeMust have skill for Software Development/MaintenanceEvery Project has Build activityThere are separate Build and Release teamsAutomation of Build is must for big real and complex projectsFirst step to get complex product to releaseNecessary to understand the working of ProductBetter management of productFresh engineers require better understanding of systemTo understand cmake generated makefileWell prepared for interviewBuild process is one of the most important activity in development and support of software product. Software products have grown with unbelievable number of files. Now most of the big software products require separate team for build activity. Similarly there are lot of tasks required for managing the software products. Whether it is a development from scratch or maintenance of existing product, build process has to be defined and understood properly. Makefile and GNU make are used heavily from years for software product build automation. The complexity of build process and numerous tasks to maintain the software product require efficient automation. Makefile and GNU make in linux/unix provides great features to automate the build process and tasks in efficient way. Use of Makefile in C / C++ projects is very common and GNU make is most favorite tool of developers for building the complex projects. This “Learn Makefile and GNU make on Linux and Unix” tutorial explains all the features provided by the GNU make utility. The course explains how to create the Makefile, how to run the Makefile, rules, phony target and various activity of building project in Makefile by using the features provided by GNU make. All the features explained have been shown with appropriate Makefile examples and other required files. Automation of build process and tasks have been explained and demonstration is provided for the same. In this Learn Makefile and GNU make course, I have used Free GNUStep and MINGW on Windows as environment but it can be done on any Linux/Unix system or other system for variety of applications for automation of build process and tasks. GNU make book/manual/documentation will be good to explore to get more details and this Makefile course will be good help to move ahead. Makefile Examples are taken for small C programs but simple programs of any other language like C++/Java/Python/Ruby/golang etc can be taken to learn and build automation of projects and tasks. Makefile and GNU make is used for Docker/Embedded System too because it provides the opportunity for incremental build and lot of automation for Docker/Embedded System. Makefile books/tutorial are not much available to developers, this “Learn Makefile and GNU make on Linux and Unix” course is already helping lot of developers and will make good foundation. Also it will be a good complement to any Makefile book/tutorial. This Learn Makefile and GNU make tutorial will also help you to learn CMake generated makefiles. What Students Say-“Very good course for those who want to work on makefile. Although I was using gnu make in my work since many years, I had not explored all it’s options. This course explains all the options with great detail. Thanks for creating such a wonderful course.“I have used several build systems in the past decades and somehow missed Linux make. Last year I started to go deeper in Linux and moved my development projects from Windows to Linux. GNU make utility has kept coming up time to time. Now, I am in a need of a simple build system to compile SASS projects, move Web-client files back and forth and deploy PHP files under various web servers. I chose gnu make because it has been always there (at least since 40 years) and I think it is going to be there for a long time on most platforms that counts (to me).So, I tried to learn it on my own with a trial-and-error approach as well as from various blogs. I even started to read a makefile book solely dedicated to this topic. In vain. To be honest, the more I read about gnu make the more cryptic it got to seem to me. Luckily, Suresh’s training managed to shed a light on the foundations which are basically quite simple. I really like his gradual approach through light examples by keeping those makefiles as straightforward as possible. Obviously, the course is for mere dummies and there is a lot to learn after the course over real life applications. All, in all, I found this course the best starter on this topic.“Nice course"Nice explanation"Fantastic"Very informative"Good explanation in short time.“Great intro to learn Makefile.“wonderful review.“The instructor did well.“yes, the Course is very Simple and to the Point"Good course for me - learned just what I was looking for, thanks"This course provides a great overview, very useful for people, who are fresh in GNU
