My opinion is that makefiles are too obscure because of the concept of using 
abstract rules.
I think any scripting language with explicit operations, such as Perl, 
JavaScript, or PHP would be far better.
If you are just interested Linux installation, then perhaps RPM would be all you 
want to look at:

Subject: makefiles

Hi All,

I would like to know more about makefiles.  So far I just used them to compile 
providers.

what else we can do with make files? 
Can we use them to install providers? If so, please point me to any reading 
materials/examples you might know of

The idea behind my quesiton is,  we will have bunch of providers (.so) files 
that would like to install at a particular directory path [ we need to create 
directories as well] on client sites. 


Thanks.
