Remake is a patched GNU Make 3.82. It adds improved error reporting, tracing, and a debugger.

Although there’s a full debugger here, most of the time I can get by using no options since normal output is a little more verbose and detailed. When that isn’t enough, I use the --trace or -x option, e.g

   remake -x <other make options>

But if you want the full debugger, use --debugger or -X:

   remake -X <other make options>

Also, if there is project and you want a list of “interesting” targets, try:

   remake --tasks

Type remake --help a list of options. See also the Remake home page

Here’s what we got so far…

• ShowmeDo video
• Debugger demo (complete with crickets in the background)
• Have you ever wanted rake —tasks for GNU Make?
• Remake with ddd (from a while ago)
• LISA 2011 Conference Paper
