How to learn about Make, compiling
- by drozzy
Why is Make utility for installing stuff on Linux so complicated?
I mean it is really hard to know exactly where stuff goes on the machine. /etc/local? usr local? non-local? It just seems like really chaotic directory structure.
Is there some "guide" on how this works? I mean as a new programmer, coming into the world of compiling things - where does on start?
Thanks.
