+<div class="paragraph"><p>It’s very important, when evaluating and when using a tool,
+to understand its limitations, so as to avoid making mistakes
+and wasting valuable time.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>This chapter lists all known limitations of Erlang.mk.</p></div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_erlang_must_be_available">Erlang must be available</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Currently Erlang.mk requires you to install Erlang beforehand.
+Installing Erlang is not always easy, particularly if you need
+a specific version of Erlang for a specific project.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>In addition, the Erlang being used must be in your <code>$PATH</code>
+before you use Erlang.mk.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>In the future we envision, Erlang.mk could manage the Erlang
+version you need to use a project. Erlang.mk already does this
+for running tests when using <code>make ci</code>, so doing this during
+development is just a step away.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_spaces_in_path">Spaces in path</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk will currently not work properly if the path to the
+project contains spaces. To check if that is the case, use the
+command <code>pwd</code>.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>This issue is due to how Makefiles work. There might be ways
+to solve it, we have not given up on it, but it’s very low
+priority considering how simple the workaround is.</p></div>
+</div>
+</div>
+<div class="sect1">
+<h2 id="_dependency_tracking_and_modification_times">Dependency tracking and modification times</h2>
+<div class="sectionbody">
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang source files that depend on other files will have their
+modification time updated when they need to be recompiled due
+to a dependency having changed. This could cause some editors to
+think the file changed when it didn’t.</p></div>
+<div class="paragraph"><p>Erlang.mk must use this method in order to be able to compile
+files in one <code>erlc</code> invocation. The benefits greatly outweigh
+the issue in this case and so there are currently no plans to
+fix this behavior.</p></div>
