Full Name:

  Makem

System Group Name:
-----------------
  makem

Type:

  GNU General Public License V2 or later

Description:
------------
  Makem is a replacement for the (G)make utilities.

Although compatiblity with older Makefile is not a main criterium, Makem
attempts to improve the make paradigm by improving the behaviour and the
features of Makefiles:
  - an environment is attached at any entity of a Makefile (scripts, files,
rules and so on) that may contain any definition tied with a specific
syntax,
  - définitions in the environment are reached using access path,
  - inclusion does not loose link between file names and script directory
(recursive Make calls are no more needed),
  - any definition may be called as an buil-tin function $(name ...)
  - syntax in rules and in actions may include repetition, condition and
assignment in a system-free way,
  - selection of programming language rules is done using the script
inclusion system (no more lots of built-in rules),
  - rules definition supports indentation,
  - Makefile scripts may be pre-compiled in order to improve speed,
  - dependency checking is not only bound to date checking but may be also
based on action or file signature,
  - finally, it may generate scripts that replace Makefile to include in a
project distribution.

Makem are attempt to kept the initial syntax of Makefiles and has only added
or modified it in order to fix well-know flaws of Make.


Other Software Required:
------------------------
  Makem is programmed using the OCAML language
(http://caml.inria.fr/ocaml/license.fr.html). OCAML programs are delivered
