A command-line tool to generate Makefiles based on user input.
To install the Makefile Generator and make it accessible globally, follow these steps:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/angelamcosta/makefile_generator.git
- Navigate to the project directory:
cd makefile_generator
- Build the project:
make
- Move the generated binary to your bin directory (e.g.,
/usr/local/bin
):
sudo mv makegen /usr/local/bin
Note: You may need administrator (sudo) privileges to move the binary to the system bin directory.
By default, the generated Makefile includes the following rules: $(NAME)
, all
, clean
, fclean
, and re
. You can modify and customize these rules according to your project's specific requirements, just take a look at MakefileGenerator.h
and check out the macros.
Certainly! Adding emojis to your headers can add a touch of visual appeal and make your README more engaging. Here's an updated version of the dependencies section with emojis added to the headers:
If you don't have g++
, you can use the following command to install it:
sudo apt-get install g++
Once the Makefile Generator is installed, you can use it by executing the following command:
makegen
The tool will prompt you to provide the necessary information, such as the project name, programming language (C/C++), and file names. Follow the instructions and enter the required details.
After the input is provided, the tool will generate a Makefile based on your inputs in the current directory.
Make sure to modify the generated Makefile according to your project's specific requirements.
- Support for additional programming languages
- Error safeguarding to handle incorrect user inputs
To uninstall makegen from you system, follow these steps:
- Navigate to the directory where you've moved the binary to (in the example abovce we used
/usr/local/bin
):
cd /usr/local/bin
- Remove the
makegen
binary using the following command:
rm makegen
