Re: integrating make and git

If you're not already using make for a project, think before you
start.  If you're building something that will go into distribution in
source form, you probably should need to use it (via automake &
autoconf).  For the stuff that I'm doing in a more focused
environment, I use boost-build/bjam
(http://www.boost.org/users/download/boost_jam_3_1_17).  This provides
very clean organization of release/debug builds as well as a much more
expressive language than make.

It's easy to create makefiles that are quite brittle and the plumbing
to establish portable builds is really complex.  I was away from make
working on Java & Ruby for almost ten years.  Though I have more than
10 years of experience with make, I'm very happy to have replaced gobs
of makefile code with the boost-build package and a few, short
Jamfiles.

YMMV
