# makers

A (mostly) [POSIX-compatible](https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/make.html) make implemented in Rust.
Not explicitly aiming for full support for [every GNU make feature](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_node/index.html), but adding whichever features are strictly necessary to be compatible with existing GNUish makefiles.

## conformance

- internationalization (`LANG`/`LC_ALL`/`LC_CTYPE`/`LC_MESSAGES`) not implemented
- XSI conformance (SCCS integration) not implemented
- signal handling not implemented
- library handling not implemented
- some POSIX-specified features are pending (search `TODO` for a list)
- builtin macro `MAKE` is defined as `makers`
- specifying the `.POSIX` special target doesn't opt out of extensions (but you can install with `--no-default-features` to get only POSIX behavior)

## status

automated tests only cover a small fraction of this software, so as it stands it's not profoundly reliable.
that said, I test manually on complicated projects, and these are known to work as of the last time I checked:
- Tcl
- [uutils coreutils](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils), but only the root makefile so far

## changelog
