The makefile package is a simple, powerful and extensible way to write
|
|
|
|
|
makefiles for a GNUstep-based project. It allows the user to write a
|
|
|
|
|
project without having to deal with the complex issues associated with
|
|
|
|
|
configuration, building, installation, and packaging. It also allows
|
|
|
|
|
the user to easily create cross-compiled binaries.

Nicola Pero <nicola@brainstorm.co.uk> rewrote much of the rule
|
|
|
|
|
procedures to increase the speed of the package by over a factor of 7.

He also rewrote much of the rest of the system to make it simpler and

|
|
|
more effective.
