PyMake

A Makefile Generator

PyMake generates a Makefile for the files of the current working directory or the specified directory. Currently works with C, C++, Fortran and Go files. You can declare your compiler or PyMake will try to detect gcc, g++, gfortran or go build for the compiler. PyMake builds a Makefile that uses variables, so you don't have to rerun PyMake to modify your Makefile. In version 0.3, PyMake started supporting configuration files and to learn more, see the section below.

Usage

Usage: pymake.py [ -bcdfihostvx ]

Options:
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -b BUILDDIR, --build-dir=BUILDDIR
                        set build directory for project to use. Default: .
  -c COMPILER, --compiler=COMPILER
                        set compiler to use. Default: PyMake will look at your
                        files and guess, if it can't then it will use gcc
  -d DIRECTORY, --directory=DIRECTORY
                        directory for pymake to create Makefile for. Default:
                        .
  -f FLAGS, --flags=FLAGS
                        flags for the compiler and typed within quotes
  -i INSTALLPATH, --install-dir=INSTALLPATH
                        directory for 'make install'. Default: /usr/local/bin
  -o OUTPUTFILE, --output-target=OUTPUTFILE
                        output file name from compiler. Default: a.out
  -s SRCDIR, --source-dir=SRCDIR
                        set source directory for project to use. Default: .
  -t FILETYPE, --file-type=FILETYPE
                        the file type of your source files (ex. c, cpp, go).
                        Default: pymake will look at your files and guess
  -v                    enable verbose output
  -x CONFIGFILE, --config-file=CONFIGFILE
                        path to pymake config file. Default: ~/.pymake.cfg

Recent updates

Version 0.4:

• Support for partial recompilation (Yay!)
• Support for verbose output
• Support for specifying the path to a config file

Version 0.4.2:

• Added -t flag for specifying your source file type

Version 0.4.4:

• Added make run so your project can be built and run in one command

Version 0.5:

• Support for project layouts that include directories like src and build
  • Can be set by commandline flags
• Reworked some Makefile generation code to simplify

Using the configuration file

Since version 0.3, PyMake supports reading a configuration file. This file, .pymake.cfg, can be placed in your home directory or specified with the -x flag. If found, PyMake will use the configuration options (compiler, flags, installation directory) over passed commandline options. The file should be formatted similar to a .ini file with sections named after the file extension of that programming language (ex. c, cpp). See the sample configuration file for an example. Future revisions to PyMake will increase the flexibility of the use of a configuration file.
