momgen

A stripped-down, simplistic Makefile generator.
Created in 2024 by anson.

You see, I am lazy, and I try to find the easiest and least time consuming ways to do everything, including creating Makefiles. This program was designed for me first and foremost, and while I think this could benefit someone out there, there are still some idiosyncrasies present in the output of this program.

Within the version folders is a doc folder that holds the man page for that version of the program. This folder also holds the thesis statement for that version.

Usage and options are explained in the first section of src/momgen.cpp, and can be read by invoking momgen --help at the command line.
