Announcing ezmake 1.1 A script driven program that produces Makefiles If you have ever been bothered by the toil of writing or maintaining makefiles, or the complexity of managing Imake or other such tools, you should use ezmake. ezmake produces makefiles from a simple extensible script language. At the simplest level, you can produce a makefile from the script: exe ( myprog , *.c ) As you can see, globbing is used, so that no makefile maintenance is needed as you add or delete source modules. ezmake also builds objs, libs, kits, install, and man pages. Additionally, the script language allows comments, has an include statement, manages passing flags to the compiler, and has hooks for multi-platform makefile generation. All sources are included, and there is a complete man page for ezmake. Here is the lsm: Title = ezmake Version = 1.1 Desc1 = ezmake builds Makefiles from a script language.
