Single-file makefile include that allows defining C++ makefiles with simple variable assignments.
Can be used for building binaries, shared/static libraries, and unit tests (auto-execute when building).
See Makefile.mk comments for variable parameters and standard targets.
- Can define up to 99 binaries, 99 libraries, and 99 unit tests in the same makefile
- Built object files are placed together in a build directory
- Dependency files are automatically generated to insure re-compilation for source changes is handled correctly
- Makefile value changes are automatically detected and will always insure everything is compiled correctly without requiring a 'make clean' to remove old object files
- Multiple build environments are supported:
- 'release' - default, build with full optimizations
- 'debug' - build with minimal optimizations and enable debug flags (output binaries will have '-g' suffix)
- 'gprof' - optimized build with added profiling options enabled ('-pg' suffix added to output binaries)
- Single configure option to switch compilers (gcc & clang are both currently supported)
- Binary/library output defaults to makefile directory but an optional output directory can be configured
- Simple configure option to allow building with various 3rd party libraries (run 'pkg-config --list-all' to see what packages your system supports)
- Default options for all compiler flags (warnings, optimizations, etc.) are provided. These default values can either be overridden or extended by config options (See Makefile.mk for all config settings)
