Module Makefile

module Makefile: sig .. end

Makefiles.

Functions to specify and generate Makefiles.

Makefile variables

type var

The type for makefile variable declarations.

Note. In the following functions. The right hand-side of variables is a list of strings. On output these strings are separated by one space and can be used as a break point if the line becomes too long.

val (===) : string -> string list -> [> `Var of var ]

v === def is v = def.

val (=:=) : string -> string list -> [> `Var of var ]

v =:= def is v := def.

val (=::=) : string -> string list -> [> `Var of var ]

v =::= def is v ::= def.

val (=+=) : string -> string list -> [> `Var of var ]

v =+= def is v += def.

val (=?=) : string -> string list -> [> `Var of var ]

v =+= def is v += def.

module Infix: sig .. end

Infix operators.

Rules

type rule

The type for makefile rules.

val rule : ?ext:bool ->
       ?order_only_prereqs:string list ->
       targets:string list ->
       prereqs:string list ->
       recipe:string list list -> unit -> [> `Rule of rule ]

rule ext order_only_prereqs targets prerequs recipe () is a makefile rule. ext indicates whether the rule should be extensible (double colon rule, defaults to false).

recipe is a list of commands. Commands are list of strings. On output the later strings are separated by one space and can be used as a break point if the line becomes too long.

Makefiles

type statement = [ `Rule of rule | `Var of var ]

The type for makefile statements.

type t = [ `Blank | `Comment of string | `Rule of rule | `Var of var ]
       list

The type for makefiles.

val to_string : t -> string

to_string m is m as a string.
