Nope -- I often use make to organize Stata projects. However, while
this works well for my own projects and when collaborating with other
Unix/Linux folks, it's unfortunately not as useful for those using
Windows. Thus, I also frequently provide a do-file which works like a
Makefile to build a project's datasets, run analyses and generate
figures, etc., and can be run by anyone with Stata. Of course, this
approach cannot replicate make's full functionality (e.g., the way it
efficiently handles changes to dependencies).
