visualizing the dependencies in a Makefile by Pierre Lindenbaum.
From the post:
I’ve just coded a tool to visualize the dependencies in a Makefile. The java source code is available on github at : https://github.com/lindenb/jsandbox/blob/master/src/sandbox/MakeGraphDependencies.java.
Outputs to a graphviz-dot file.
Clever and raises interesting questions about visualization of other dependency situations.
