A collection of thin, extensible and pretty Makefiles for simple C/C++ projects.
If you find standards Makefile too complex or cumbersome, try makerain, since many
hard-edges were softened and it's still GNU Makefiles.
- Pretty and sane interface.
- Compatible with many compilers ( gcc, clang, vscode )
- Cross-platform ( LINUX, WINDOWS, MAC)
- Compatible with standard
CFLAGS&LDFLAGS - Built-in support for
doctests
- Copy the folder
makerainto your project. - Create a
Makefilein the project root. - Configure it to your taste:
SHELL:=/bin/bash
VERSION := "0.0.1"
NAME := hello
TARGET := Release
# Output
OUTPUT_EXE := build/${NAME}
# Dependencies, assets and binary all bundled together for simple
# deployment (eg: Mac .app , flatpack, zip folder...)
OUTPUT_BUNDLE := dist/${NAME}
# Copy Assets to bundle
ASSET_FOLDER := $(NAME).res
# External dependencies, like curl or openssl
# May have both shared lib (.so) and header files
DLL_FOLDER := dep
# Include folders
INCLUDES = include/ ext/ # bultin and 3º party
LIBS = m dl pthread curl jansson # libm, dlopen, libpthread, libcurl
# Our code & 3party
SOURCES = $(wildcard src/*.cpp src/*/*.cpp ext/*/*.c)
# Entry point
MAIN_APP = src/main.cpp
TEST_APP = src/testsRunner.cpp
# Include build rules
include ./makerain/Makefile| Description | command |
|---|---|
| make | Compile all files |
| make dll | Compile external dependencies |
| make info | Display build information |
| make run | Run generated executable |
| make debug | Run with debugger attached |
| make doctest | Compile doctest |
| make test | Runs doctest |
Use the traditional behaviour of overwriting variables in the SHELL. For example:
CXX=clang CX=clang make
TARGET=DEBUG make
A barebones App with dynamic library support is included in the directory examples.
