Develop, Decorate and manage Dependencies for C (GNU) Makefiles easily with Ruby.

Install using the Ruby Gem:

> gem install demake

To see command syntax:

> demake ?

  Command syntax:

  demake               - Create or update Makefile
  demake ?             - View this help information
  demake new <name>    - Create new application
  demake example       - Create an example application
  demake oreo          - Create a different sample application

To create a new application:

> demake new <name>

This will create a new directory and basic files for a new C application.

To create or update a GNU Makefile on an existing demake application,
execute without arguments:

> demake

To create an example with multiple sample applications:

> demake example

This will create a directory named example containing the example.

To create an example with a single sample application:

> demake oreo

This will create a directory named oreo containing the example.

It requires a demake directory and application file containing the
application names followed by depencencies separated by spaces and
with a new line to indicate a different application.
Something like (from the example):

> mkdir demake
> echo "hello string" > demake/applications
> echo "goodbye string" >> demake/applications
> demake

For customization, optionally include (see example):
demake/settings.rb, demake/test-target.rb, demake/install-target.rb,
demake/license

You can also clone from git:

> git clone https://github.com/MinaswanNakamoto/demake.git
> chmod +x demake/bin/demake
> cd demake
> bin/demake example
> cd example ; make ; make build ; make test

If you have an existing C application and you want to generate a Makefile
for it, you might try the gen_application shell script.

> ./gen_application myapp
