makemake/README.md

makemake is a pure POSIX-compliant (.POSIX), multi-threaded build template for C projects. It utilizes a dynamic build graph generator, requires zero GNU or BSD extensions, and runs natively on any standard UNIX shell (/bin/sh).

Quick Start

• Place .c files in source_code/ and .h files in includes/.
• Run make init once to bootstrap the project layout.
• Run make -j8 debug to compile incrementally and in parallel.

Make Targets

Target	Description
make / make help	Prints basic usage instructions and target overviews.
make init	Creates required project directories (source_code, includes, output, config) and starter templates.
make debug	Dynamically builds a parallel-safe dependency graph and compiles using DEBUG_FLAGS (-g3, -O0, UBSan).
make fast	Compiles an optimized release build using RELEASE_FLAGS (-O2, -s, NDEBUG) without modifying the version string.
make release	Bumps the version using an automated timestamp (_YY.DAY.HH.MMSS) and compiles an optimized release binary.
make clean	Wipes the output/ directory and temporary build scripts inside config/.

Customization Guide

• How to change the compiler: Edit the CC = gcc variable at the top of the file to use clang or other compilers.
• How to change the C standard being used: Locate CFLAGS and modify -std=c17 to your preferred standard (e.g., -std=c11, -std=c99) etc.
• Modifying Warning Strictness: Add, or remove specific flags within the CFLAGS block. Removing -Werror will allow compilation to continue past warnings.
• Linking External Libraries (e.g., Raylib): Locate the debug, fast, and release targets in the Makefile. Find the final linking step ($(CC) $(CFLAGS) ... -o $$OUT $$OBJS) and append your static library paths or system link flags (e.g., -lraylib -lGL -lm -lpthread -ldl -lrt -lX11).
