MAKEIT

Goals

• To generate native Makefiles for the system makeit is running on. To accomplish that, we transform a set of Makefile fragments and module config files into a non-recursive Makefile that uses features available to all reasonable versions of Make (GNU, BSD, SVR4, etc).

• If makeit can be called a build system, it should stay so small and platform independent that it could be included in each project that it helps to build.

• To include/install and setup makeit for your project take a look at the INSTALL.md file.

Module (*.mconf) Keywords

• name : name of the module, just a handle

• data : name of a data file (symbols, pictures, text, etc.) to embed
• asrc : list of (.S) assembly source files
• csrc : list of C source files to build
• win_asrc : windows only list of C source files to build
• win_csrc : windows only list of C source files to build
• unix_asrc : unix only list of C source files to build
• unix_csrc : unix only list of C source files to build
• depends : list of module name's that a prog or a lib depends on
• cflags : list of CFLAGS to add for this module
• ldflags : list of LDFLAGS to add for this module
• extralibs : list of extra libs needed by the program (e.g., -lgcc)
• cleanfiles : list of extra files to remove when make clean is called
