thing is, it is *fun* to create unreadable, overengineered mess in a makefile. Each step is satisfying, as the basic principles required to do it stay the same, and those principles are very powerful.

@wolf480pl @mntmn it is funny to create, it's not as funny to edit later.

@ekaitz_zarraga @mntmn as opposed to autotools, which are just a pain from day -1

@hecate @mntmn GNU make is definitely better than GNU Autotools, but it's still ... quite eccentric.
