Hi, sorry for a noob question. Where do I store this makefile so it is available in any directories? In my root directory? Or does it have to be in the same folder that I am making the file?

Sorry that I never noticed this comments before.

Re: Licensing: Consider it public-domain

Re: File location: Typically people put the makefile in the directory where you run make from. But you could do something like make -f ~/util/pandoc/Makefile
