<i>Yes, but you shouldn't be writing makefiles, you should do everything possible to avoid writing makefiles.</i>
<p>I agree!</p>
<p>However, I believe that a possibility to use the same make program in L/Unix and Windows, at least for Perl modules, would facilitate portability. I am trying to understand if there is a (long term) possibility to use GNU make also in Windows.</p>
<p>A possible path seem to be:</p>
<ul>
<li>A GNU Make distribution for Windows in CPAN</li>
<li>A patched ExtUtils::MakeMaker that can create Makefiles that the Windows version of GNU Make understands</li>
</ul>
