1073030 - replace our use of Make

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox OS Graveyard :: Gaia, defect)

Description

[Malini Das [:mdas] - Away, not checking bugmail]

Make is a build tool and should be used as such, but instead, we use it to kick off other processes. We don't use it to build our code, it doesn't track dependencies, etc. We essentially use it as a cli tool, which is an awkward fit and is limiting, since the Make lexicon is simply not as expressive as a more appropriate tool.

For suggestions for alternatives, we can use mach, which was written for our scenario (a cross-platform cli tool), or just replace this with a bash script. We really have no use for make here.
