Customizing makefiles

All parts of the makefile which do not belong to one of the special sections of mmm may be modified without being disturbed in case of later updates. Additionally, it is possible to customize some parts of the mmm sections without losing these changes on updates.

Once a makefile is generated, all subsequent changes can be done in the makefile and followed by an update without any further options.

   modula$ vi makefile
   modula$ mmm -u makefile

Mmm reads the entire makefile, extracts the list of sources from there, the default values of all command line flags and various additional settings, and generates then the new makefile.
