[erlang-questions] erlang.mk

[Pavanan M S]

Hi all,

           I have been trying to learn  cowboy using this link -
http://ninenines.eu/docs/en/cowboy/1.0/guide/getting_started/
            They have given a makefile (erlang.mk) to set up bootstrapping
. Apparently, a makefile defined themselves.
           I have 2 questions,
           1. What is actually meant by bootstrapping in this context, and
           2. How to do this without the help of erlang.mk

           ( I will be thankful if you give me links to other tutorials
like this.)
