Too long IMHO. Also "make" is rather a term from the "C world". A normal Pascal programmer (especially one who hasn't used GPC before) isn't expected to know about making etc. Rather, a Pascal compiler ("processor" in ISO terms) is expected to deal with modules ("programÂÂcomponent") just as any other parts of a Pascal program.
I disagree here. make is a highly generic tool, which happens to be especially suited to the success/failure return status on Unices. In its simplest terms it requires nothing more than the ability to check file dates, launch programs, and test their return values.
