I'm going to step in here and volunteer my efforts
as a make expert to the group. I use make every day
and have an extensive system that allows me to build
embedded software for multiple platforms and hardware
versions from one source tree,
Here are some general thoughts....
1. You definitely need a dependency generator. This is pretty
easy to do with sed, awk, perl, tcl - whatever. This program
would spit out a list of heirarchical dependencies for each
thing that it processes.
2. The VPATH and inference rule features of GNU make are powerful
and easy to use constructs. I use them to handle building
complete libraries within subdirectories of the working
code. It should be easy to adapt to the parts tracker.
3. If you tell make that file x depends on file y and it can't
find x where it is supposed to be of if x is older than y,
then it will make x.
Let me know exactly what you need and the tools (programs) you have
access to on the target box and I'll bang together a make script
for you.
If it's not clear, i LOVE make. I use it for all kinds of tasks,
including building pbForth from scratch and then building zip
archives and sending them to the server.
I hope I can help in some small way...
Cheers, Ralph
