mgen - Simple makefile generator

Makefile generator using some flags and "vars" to create makefile easier. It is crated for Windows but you can edit first function (i.e. GetExePath(...)) for properly work for another system.

Getting started

Just add mgen folder to PATH string.

User guide

There are some flags that you can use:

First use:

1. Create directory Test with simple any.cpp file.
2. Go to path with Test in console.
3. Type mgen in console.

Now put any.cpp to any folder (e.g. Test/Src) and type mgen again. It will find every single .cpp file in folder with project. Works with multiple files and folders.

Assign flags:

Can have only one assigned value: -S -O -a -c

Multiple flags:

Add more than one value to unique strings: -I -L -l -v -f

Help command

For more infomation about flags type...

mgen help

...or read help file in directory with mgen.

Additional files

Commands in one file

You can create mgen file in the same place when the makefile will be created and put there any commands, separated by enters or spaces. When you run mgen with -c (clear commands) flag it will ignore searching mgen file.

Global vars with commands

In directory with mgen just edit adders file and put there some commands. Separate commands +VAR_NAME for create new vars. You can run all commands by typing -v flag with var name (e.g. -vSFML).

Example of adders file:

+SFML
-lsfml-graphics -lsfml-system -lsfml-window
-ID:\Dev\Libraries\SFML\2.4.2\include
-LD:\Dev\Libraries\SFML\2.4.2\lib
+Boost
-ID:/Dev/CORE/boost_1_65_1
-LD:/Dev/CORE/boost_1_65_1/stage/lib

Commands examples

mgen
mgen -Ssrc
mgen -fstd=c++11 -Ssrc -Oobj
mgen -ISFML/include -LSFML/lib -lsfml-window -lsfml-system -lsfml-
