Regular Expression Basics

"Regular expressions, sometimes referred to as regex, grep, or pattern
matching, can be a very powerful tool and a tremendous time-saver with a
broad range of application. As an extended form of find-and-replace, you
can use a regular expression to do things such as perform client-side
validation of email addresses and phone numbers, search multiple
documents for strings and patterns you wish to change or remove, or
extract a list of links from source code."

Learning GNU Make Functions with Arithmetic

"GNU Make has no built-in arithmetic capability. In this article I present a
collection of GNU Make macros that implement functions for addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division of integers. Functions are also
provided for integer comparisons such as “greater than” and “not equal.”
These macros are implemented entirely using GNU Make's built-in string
manipulation functions."

Regular Expressions Cheat Sheet

"The Regular Expressions cheat sheet is designed to be printed on an A4
sheet of paper and live by a designer or developer's desk, to make life a bit
easier. A description of what is on the cheat sheet follows, or if you are
impatient, you can go straight to the full size Regular Expressions cheat
sheet."

Digg: Debugging make

"make and utilities like it are fundamental tools for streamlining the
application build process. Learn the structure of the makefile, how to
avoid common mistakes in its creation, and how to solve or work around
portability issues and other problems as they crop up."

JoS: Anybody know of a really good beginner regexp tutorial?

"Regexp-coach looks cool... too bad they only have Macs."

freshmeat: What is Wrong with Make?, by Adrian Neagu

"The first wrong thing is people's ignorance about Make's limitations with
respect to their requirements. I'll start my critique with a list of wrong beliefs
about this classic tool."

How Regexes Work, by Mark-Jason Dominus

"This isn't an article about how to use regexes; you've probably seen plenty of
those already. It's about how you would write a regex package from scratch,
in a language like C that doesn't already have regexes."

Apple: Building Makefile Projects With Xcode

"Although Xcode keeps track of build settings in its own preferences files for
information beyond what could normally be maintained in a makefile, it can
also work closely with your project’s makefiles. If you want to use Xcode for
development in Mac OS X, you can include a makefile in a Xcode project as
follows..."

uf - C on Linux

"Here's a link for further reading: http://www.airs.com/ian/configure/

As for 'make' and 'make install', these both invoke the Makefile with the
latter statement specifically referencing the "install" entry point. Here's a
typical Makefile that could build the hello.c program I provided earlier."

Make - a tutorial

"Make uses a special target, named .SUFFIXES to allow you to define your
own suffixes. For example, the dependency line:
.SUFFIXES: .foo .bar
tells make that you will be using these special suffixes to make your own rules. "

What’s wrong with make?

"So what is wrong with it? I’m not complaining about the simple annoyances
like insane use of tabs or being based on two inflexible programming languages
(shell script and make macros). No, it’s got two fundamental problems: it cannot
enforce correct dependency tracking and its dependency language is insufficiently
expressive for common tasks."

reddit - Trying qmake and CMake (as an autotools user)

"The problem with autotools is that it is used for complicated things, and
people cut-and-paste complicated things even when they ought to be si-
mple. 99% of people just need a way to access .pc files and generate ju-
icy Makefiles, the portability part is taken care by glib, sdl and so on."

so - Regex C code is not working on my mac osx

"I'm testing the following code on 4 Macbook. all Macbook are up to date with
10.8.4 on 3 of them it is working fine but not on my Macbook and I start be
crazy. I don't know what to do anymore."

so - How to write a Makefile with separate source and header directories?

"Following this tutorial...

I have 2 source files and 1 header file. I want to have them in separate
directories like in the tutorial.

.
├── include
│ └── hellomake.h
├── Makefile
└── src
. ├── hellofunc.c
. └── hellomake.c

fatal error: no input files"

so - Search through NSString using Regular Expression

One simple way would be to validate the string using this regular expression:

[Ike]

>> ^\d{1,3}(?:.\d{3})*\,\d{2}$

>> ^\d{1,3}(?:.\d{3})*\,\d{2}

Tada:

^\d{1,3}(?:.\d{3})*\,\d{2}.*(EUR|KN|kn|Kn|Kuna|Kune|Eur)?

https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.html

There is a free book: https://www.oreilly.com/openbook/make3/book/index.csp

It's published in 2004, but things have not changed with GNU Make

After you figure out GNU Make, look into Autotools: https://autotools.info/
