Learning about configure/makefiles ?

[Walter Dnes]

  4 years ago, all I knew was RPM.  Today, I can...

./configure --with-this-that-and-the-other
make
make install

but I still don't have a clue what's going on "under the hood".  I get a
ton of hits on Google for "makefile tutorial", but I probably want a
book to refer to.  Any recommendations?
