makefile2dot 0.1.1

Create a graphviz graph of a Makefile.

A Visualizer for Makefiles

DESCRIPTION

makefile2dot produces a Graphviz dot graph from a Makefile. To run it, install graphviz and python. This version runs on python 3.

    sudo apt-get install graphviz python

USAGE

makefile2dot writes to stdout by default, which can be read in by graphviz. So the nice trick is to pipe output from makefile2dot directly in to dot. The Makefile is read from stdin to support piping input as well.

Example usage:

    makefile2dot <Makefile | dot -Tpng > out.png
