| schestowitz[TR2] | Yes. I looked through more than 100 source packages. | Jun 02 18:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Most packages come with Makefile.am and Makefile.in which are used to | Jun 02 18:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | generate the makefile. The machine-generated makefile is not easy to | Jun 02 18:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | analyze. | Jun 02 18:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | This is a list of the source packages of major OS components: | Jun 02 18:15 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | I think it is possible that I disagree with Mr. Jean Louis because I | Jun 02 18:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | do not regard Makefile.am and Makefile.in true makefiles. I also believe | Jun 02 18:15 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | that the machine-generated makefiles are not ideal for study. | Jun 02 18:15 |
