mkgen

BRIEF

This shell script will scan the folders and sub folders looking for *.c and *.h files and generate a simple makefile.

By default, this script will look for .c and .h files but the -t option can be used to search for other file types such as .cpp, .sh, etc.. When this script creates the makefile for .c files, a compiler of 'CC' is used and when .cpp files is specified, the compiler is 'C++'.

SYNOPSIS

mkgen -n name [-t "*.c"]

OPTIONS

-n name - A name for the target.

-t type - A file type to look for. Currently, this script will accept: *.c, *.cpp, *.sh types (default is *.c). If *.c or .cpp called for, header files (.h) file are also looked for and listed in makefile and placed as a dependency for the building of main. When specifying *.sh files as the type, no header files are looked for but the CC is set to "chmod" (-i.e., a directory of *.sh files will need a makefile for easy installation vs compilation).

EXAMPLES

To create a makefile for all *.c file under the subdirectory:

 % mkgen -n foo

To create a makefile for all *.cpp files under the subdirectory:

 % mkgen -n foo -t *.cpp

To create a makefile for all *.sh files under the subdirectory:

 % mkgen -n foo -t *.sh
