MakeWiz

MakeWiz is a handy command-line tool designed to make working with Makefiles easier. With just one simple command, MakeWiz does the work of creating a neat Makefile that perfectly fits the files in your directory. Right now, it is available for Debian and Arch based Linux distros, but other systems should be supported in the future too.

🔐 MakeWiz is dual-licensed under MIT or Apache 2.0.

Demonstration of MakeWiz in action

Let's say that you have a directory with such files

Bike.cpp Bike.hpp
Car.cpp Car.hpp
Vehicle.hpp
main.cpp and executable main

After running makewiz, a Makefile like this will be created

```Makefile

Compiler and flags

CC = g++ FLAGS = -g -c -Wall LFLAGS =

Source files and object files

OBJS = Bike.o Car.o main.o SOURCE = Bike.cpp Car.cpp main.cpp HEADER = Bike.hpp Car.hpp Vehicle.hpp OUT = main

Libraries

LDLIBS =

Default target

all: $(OUT)

Linking rules

$(OUT): $(OBJS) $(CC) -g $(OBJS) -o $(OUT) $(LFLAGS) $(LDLIBS)

Compilation rules

%.o: %.cpp $(HEADER) $(CC) $(FLAGS) -o $@ $<

Clean rule

clean: rm -f $(OBJS) $(OUT) ```

All files with extensions other than .cpp .hpp .c .h will be automatically ignored by makewiz

Installation

Arch Linux

If you are an Arch Linux user(or any other Arch-based distros like Manjaro), you can install MakeWiz from AUR using a tool like yay or paru:

$ yay -S makewiz

Debian

If you are a Debian user(or any other Debian-based distros like Ubuntu), you can install MakeWiz using a .deb file:

$ sudo curl -LO https://github.com/kallazz/MakeWiz/releases/download/v0.6.1/makewiz_0.6.1_amd64.deb $ sudo dpkg -i makewiz_0.6.1_amd64.deb

If you wish to install a version other than the latest, all .deb binaries will be available in MakeWiz releases.

Cargo

If you have Rust installed, you can download MakeWiz using cargo:

$ cargo install makewiz

User Guide

To generate a Makefile using MakeWiz, simply enter the command makewiz in your terminal.

By default, MakeWiz will create a Makefile with the executable name main and compiler g++. You can change this behaviour by using commands and options listed below. If you are not sure what your default compiler and executable values are, you can just run makewiz default.

``` MakeWiz is a command line tool that generates a Makefile based on the files in your directory

Usage: makewiz [OPTIONS] [COMMAND]

Commands: set-compiler Set the default compiler name set-executable Set the default executable name default Show default values help Print this message or the help of the given subcommand(s)

Options: -c, --compiler Set the compiler name for THIS Makefile -e, --executable Set the executable name for THIS Makefile -h, --help Print help -V, --version Print version ```
