Closely related to https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/283478/how-to-display-dependencies-given-in-a-makefile-as-a-tree But the answers given there is not satisfactory (i.e. do not work).
Is there a tool to visualize the Directed Acylic Graphs (DAGs) coded up in standard Makefiles? eg, a shell-script for post-processing through Unix pipes can be an acceptable solution as well (maybe there is a pandoc filter to convert MakeFiles to graphviz or LaTeX).
I don't strictly need a tool that directly typesets this graphical visualisation? Just a common file-format translation of the makefile to a graph-viz file or something similar would suffice.
