BrownBuildingThe only reason Makefiles exist is the dopamine hit of typing "make" and having your Makefile work #makefile
Quentin GuilloteauAnd here is the #nix way
I did not see anybody do this, so I am sharing it.
There is semi-nice way to get a per-rule software environment in #makefile .
Here is an example with #guix :
(i didnt manage to format the code on mastodon ..., code is in alternative text)

Moi j’suis nul en Makefile, mais moi j’adore les Makefiles, alors merci @metal3d de remettre les points sur les i.
Makefile c’est trop bien, punkt schluss. Arrêtez de vouloir réinventer la roue avec des trucs plus récents si ça n’apporte rien pour le 99% des cas d’usages. Merci.
edit: Avant que ça chouigne dans les chaumières, ce que je demande à un outil comme Makefile c’est de permettre aux personnes qui sont nulles à l’utiliser (comme moi) d’en faire un usage qui correspond exactement à ce dont elles ont besoin. Et c’est le cas. 👍

Ajit AnanthadevanThe biggest gripe in #embedded #development is the crappy IDE's from vendors. I much prefer to build from barebones #makefile projects.. you're free to use any text editor you wish.
https://github.com/cpq/bare-metal-programming-guide gets you started, especially if you're coming from #arduino style development!
As an inspiration, here's my repos for simple #MCU's from two mainstream vendors.

KlayI remember someone mentioned using PHP as their static site generator and I was intrigued because PHP is an old and established way of doing "page templates" that it would be Cool to re-use instead of downloading a bespoke site generator tool
the problem is of course that php doesn't have any sort of "make static" command. but what it DOES have is a built-in server so that you can test out your php files.
so.
I wrote a makefile that serves a php file over localhost and then downloads from localhost to static html.
might polish this later but here's my work if you want to copy it:

edit: i knew i'd seen this somewhere! @alterae does this on its site, but with a different makefile strategy: https://git.sr.ht/~alterae/alterae.online/tree/main/item/Makefile

GabeMoralesVRMy #artisinal, no-preservatives-added, all-organic #makefile for my #gamedev #project is over 850 lines long. So #anti #generative that not even cmake is allowed. #programming #cpp #c #homebrew
Anyone here managing their experiments/workflows with gnu #make ? Any tips ?
I was a #snakemake user, but I switched to #makefile recently because of the increasing complexity/bloat of Snakemake and I don't need the majority of the features... (plus colleagues were not using/familiar with Snakemake)
The make language is for sure less user-friendly than Snakemake's, but I'm still able to do what I need/want (just with more boilerplate).
I had to write small Makefile functions to keep some of my sanity...
(BTW: `.RECIPEPREFIX` let you redefine the prefix instead of the annoying tab! [1])
From what I understood, GNU Make can be extended with #guile [2], maybe that could help ? (but adds another dependency tho...)
TL;DR: I just want a simple/easy/lightweight/expressive workflow manager... 😔
