makemake
makemake
is a rust library for building Makefiles programmatically.
Traits allow makemake
functions to take in pretty much any type as an
argument - you can set the value of a variable to a string, a function, or
even another variable, without needing .into()
s everywhere. There's also a
helper expr!
macro for building more complex expressions.
Although version-agnostic, makemake
does support GNU make
features. If
you intend your Makefiles to be extremely portable (although even macOS
comes with GNU make
), avoid those features as you would when writing
Makefiles by hand.
Usage
Run this command in your rust project root:
cargo add makemake
You can find the crate on crates.io.
Then, you can add
use makemake::prelude::*;
to appropriate files.
Example
Let's build a Makefile for a C project.
let mut makefile = Makefile::new();
We'll want variables for the source files, object files, compiler, and flags.
let src = makefile.assign("SRC", Function::wildcard([expr!("src/*.c")]));
let obj = makefile.assign("OBJ", Substitution::new(src, ".c", ".o"));
let cc = makefile.assign_without_overwrite(
"CC",
Function::shell("which gcc || which clang")
);
let cflags = makefile.append("CFLAGS", "-std=c99 -Wall -Wextra");
let target = makefile.assign("TARGET", "main");
Next, we'll define the rule to create the target.
makefile.rule(target).dep("main.c").dep(obj).cmd(expr!(
cc;
cflags;
"-o";
makefile.target_var();
makefile.deps_var()
));
In the
expr!
macro, use;
to separate arguments by spaces and,
to put them directly adjacent.
Finally, we can print the resultant Makefile.
print!("{}", makefile.build());
Indeed, we can use our Makefile to build an example project.
cargo run --example c_project > examples/Makefile
cd examples
make && ./main
The actual example (c_project.rs
in the examples/
directory) also comes
with a make clean
!
