:baby_chick: A boilerplate for any-language-projects using Makefile.

Makefile Boilerplate

A starter config for standard C project with Makefile.

What? What can it do???

• Auto build all source files in src folder
• Auto linking all obj files to execute binary
• Clean the project
• Colored output, and it's awesome

Sound good! How do I use it?

It's very easy to use. All you need is make installed (and it's pre-installed in most of Unix and OS X system!).

With make, all you need to do is: build and clean.

Build

Build the project easily with:

make

All source files in src folder will be built and linked together to single executable demo binary file.

If you wish to change the output binary name, just change OUT variable to whatever you want.

OUT = demo

Clean

To cleanup your project, just type:

make clean

You're cool man! But I don't use C :(

You don't use C, huh? It's OK man, don't be so ashamed! You should try it next time.

But the good news is, you can use it anywhere you want!

With Makefile pre-configured. You can use it in any standard C projects, C++ projects, or even Ruby, NodeJS, PHP, C#, Java projects...

It's nothing more than a task based bash script.

Alright, how about license?

Since this one is nothing more than just a snippet, I don't care too much about licensing.

But if you asked, MIT.

By the way, I'm using something from the Makefile in tj/luna project.

P/S: The funny thing is, this README.md file is the largest file in this repository, LOL. I like to spend my time write up something helpful in my open source projects, so, I hope it will make you happy ^^!
