mkmf: Make Makefile

mkmf is a tool written in perl5 that will construct a makefile from distributed source. A single executable program is the typical result, but I dare say it is extensible to a makefile for any purpose at all.

Features

• Understands dependencies in f90 (modules and use), the Fortran include statement, and the cpp #include statement in any type of source
• No restrictions on filenames, module names, etc.
• Supports the concept of overlays (where source is maintained in layers of directories with a defined precedence)
• Keeps track of changes to cpp flags, and knows when to recompile affected source (i.e, files containing #ifdefs that have been changed since the last invocation);
• Will run on any unix platform that has perl version 5 installed
• It is free, and released under GPL.

Pronunciation

mkmf is pronounced make-make-file or make-m-f or even McMuff (Paul Kushner's suggestion).

Installation

mkmf and list_paths can be run on any *nix type system that has C-shell (tcsh) and Perl version 5 installed.

To install, place the repository on the file system and add the bin directory to PATH.
