    Makefile data extraction

    I have a project to extract the data (coff image files and associated data) from a makefile. I can pay generously for any help in successfully recovering this data.

    Makefiles don't contain that information - they're just text files.

    Things that the makefile produces (say executables) may contain those things.

    Think of a makefile as a recipe in a cookery book and a .exe file as the cake.

    What you seem to be asking is how to get the ingredients out of the cake.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
