# 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. You can get slightly more info by running with `RUST_LOG=makers=warn`, much more info with `RUST_LOG=makers=debug`, and an avalanche of info (probably only useful in small doses for debugging your makefile or makers itself) with `RUST_LOG=makers=trace`. For more specific configuration, see [the documentation for the `env_logger` Rust crate](https://docs.rs/env_logger/0.8.3/env_logger/). ## 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 the path to `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 i haven't written unit tests for most of `makers`, but there are [integration tests](https://gitlab.com/boringcactus/makers/-/pipelines) that try to build various make-based projects with makers. specific projects tested: - [tcl](https://tcl.tk/) - [uutils coreutils](https://github.com/uutils/coreutils) - [CPython](https://github.com/python/cpython) - [SPDX license list](https://github.com/spdx/license-list-XML) - [libarchive](https://libarchive.org/) list of features that are needed for version 1.0: - tested with Linux - unit tests for most of the things - no TODOs left ## changelog ### v0.6.1 - 2021-04-06 - make `export`/`unexport` actually persist so they're available while executing ### v0.6.0 - 2021-04-06 - implement GNU-style functions `findstring`, `realpath`, `dir`, `lastword`, `words`, `subst`, `error`, `word`, `patsubst`, `addsuffix` - provide GNU-style built-in variables `MAKECMDGOALS`, `CURDIR`, `MAKEFILE_LIST` - fix broken handling of nested conditionals - try to build a missing included makefile before hard-erroring - implement GNU-style `export`/`unexport` directives ### v0.5.0 - 2021-04-04 - add verbose logging - partially fix `$<` (old: all dependencies, new: first dependency, spec: first dependency added by inference rule) - set the `$(MAKE)` built-in macro to the full path to `makers` if it can be found - change `%`-matching to reject partial pattern matches but allow all characters in `%` - implement GNU-style functions `and`, `or`, `strip` ### v0.4.0 - 2021-04-03 - fix newline handling so escaped newlines & conditional lines work the way they're supposed to - implement GNU-style `%`-matching inference rules - dependencies of `.PHONY` special target are now always assumed out-of-date until rebuilt, regardless of filesystem status - give user-defined inference rules priority over built-in ones ### v0.3.0 - 2021-04-03 - allow installing with `--no-default-features` for pure-POSIX compatibility - implement GNU-style functions `if`, `origin`, `shell` (doesn't set `.SHELLSTATUS`), `eval` - implement GNU-style `define` blocks - improve error reporting ### v0.2.0 - 2021-04-01 - partially implement GNU-style conditionals (only parentheses around arguments are supported) - implement some GNU-style functions: `filter`, `filter-out`, `sort`, `notdir`, `basename`, `addprefix`, `wildcard`, `foreach`, `call` - improve error reporting for parse errors ### v0.1.0 - 2021-03-25 - initial release ## contributors - [zseri](https://ytrizja.de/) (code) - [@Lucretiel](https://github.com/Lucretiel) (code) - you, if you'd like! email melody@boringcactus.com if you've got something ([not just code!](https://allcontributors.org/docs/en/emoji-key)) to contribute ## license Released under the [Indie Code Catalog Standard Deal](https://indiecc.com/deal/3.0.0), version 3.0.0 or later. Commercial licenses are available for purchase [through Indie Code Catalog](https://indiecc.com/~boringcactus/makers). ## minuteæ Canonically pronounced /ˈmeɪ.kɹɪz/ (as though saying "make risotto" but giving up halfway through).
