[PATTON, BILLY \(SBCSI\)]

I'm in need of some technical help solving some makefile problems.
Mostly in reductions of # of lines by using define and calls;  I'm
expecting my finished makefile to be 7k+ lines long and include another
40k+ lines into it.  These are generated by a perl script making use of
a lot of loops.  I could do everything by "flattening" everything but
that would be a maintenance nightmare.  After the product has passed
testing the Makefile and all 500+ make.include files will be static and
put into version control.

Is this list ok to ask questions or do I continue to use
comp.unix.programmer?
