Cmaker

Recursive make-operation for sprawling C++ projects.

Installation

pip3 install cmaker

Command line use

Consider a C++ application entry source code at main.cpp that includes headers from various folders. To automatically discover its dependencies and compile what is necessary, do:

makerc.py --input main.cpp --output app.exe

This should produce app.exe in the current directory.

Script use

import cmaker

maker = cmaker.Maker("<path-to-config>")
maker.make("<main>.cpp", "<out>")

Custom arguments

Copy the following contents of the configuration file into a file in the working directory:

c_ext = .cpp
obj_dirsep = .
obj_dir = dump
compile_cmd = g++ -MMD --coverage -c {inp} -o {out}
combine_cmd = g++ -MMD --coverage {inp} -o {out}

Change whatever your heart desires (but you MUST include the -MMD option for g++ to produce dependency files), then specify this file to the program. If this file is named "makerc.config":

makerc.py --input main.cpp --output app.exe --config makerc.config
