Recursive Make Reconsidered

In an earlier blog-entry reviewing the book Code Craft, I mentioned the classic paper by Peter Miller entitled "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" ...

Anyway, I recently ran across a bunch of webpages that examined or revisited the issue. I thought several of them were worth sharing, so here they are:

• Recursive versus Non-recursive Makefile architectures benchmark
• Recursive Make isn't all that bad
• "Recursive Make Considered Harmful" Revisited
• Recursive Make Reloaded
• Implementing non-recursive make
• Non-recursive make for Linux kernel
• Non-recursive Automake
• Makepp manual pages on recursive make in legacy makefiles and problems associated with recursive makes
