|description=The utility simply known as ''make'' is one of the most enduring features of both Unix and other operating systems. First invented in the 1970s, ''make'' still turns up to this day as the central engine in most programming projects; it even builds the Linux kernel. In the third edition of the classic ''Managing Projects with GNU make'', readers will learn why this utility continues to hold its top position in project build software, despite many younger competitors.

|title=Source File Management with SCCS

|author=Israel Silverberg

|supp=N/A

|description=Oriented towards the needs of senior software engineers, software managers, system administrators, and configuration managers, this volume focuses on the building and maintenance of a source file library in the UNIX System V environment. The book gives an explanation of the concept of the UNIX source code control system, describes in detail the utilities that constitute SCCS, and shows how to use these tools to build and maintain a source file library. It also shows how to place all applications in a single library and how that library can be used by different departments. Techniques and additional tools for maintaining source files at the product level are explained with a view to allowing readers to establish a source file management system that will trace versions of an entire application instead of a single source file. The book then explains how to establish a secure source library where access to read and/or change is strictly controlled. Finally, the book provides source code for the special utilities needed to implement the concepts described. A disk of source codes is available separately.
