Maker - Automatic Makefile Generator for 42 Students

This project is a small tool designed for 42 students, tested on the latest version of Ubuntu. It helps you generate a customizable Makefile for your C or C++ projects.

---

🚀 Installation

Run the installation script:

bash install.sh

This script will:

• Create a ~/.maker/ directory to store the main script maker.sh.
• Copy the maker.sh script to that directory.
• Add an alias maker to your .zshrc file.
• Reload your .zshrc so the alias is immediately available.

---

⚙️ Usage

Use the alias to run the tool:

maker

The script will ask you the following questions:

1️⃣ What is the program name? Example: a.out This will be the name of the compiled binary.

2️⃣ What is the directory containing the source files? Example: src Provide the path to your .c or .cpp files.

3️⃣ What is the directory containing the includes? Example: include Provide the directory path for your header files (leave blank if none).

4️⃣ What language? (c/cpp) Choose the language of your project: c or cpp.

🏗️ How it works

Once you provide the answers, the script will:

✅ Check that the directories exist. ✅ Automatically find all source files (*.c or *.cpp). ✅ Create a Makefile with:

• all, clean, fclean, and re rules.
• Dynamic object directory creation.
• Automatic dependency management for C++ projects.

---

🧹 Makefile Commands

• make : Compile the project.
• make clean : Remove the object directory.
• make fclean : Remove objects and the compiled binary.
• make re : Clean and recompile the project.
