do

Minimal make-ish command runner

Installation

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local
make
make install

Running do without arguments will look for a dofile in the current directory, and run the default target automatically.

dofile:

default:
    echo "default target executed"

Output:

==> Running target default
default target executed

do supports targets with dependencies.

hello:
    echo "hello world"

default: hello
    echo "default target executed"

Output:

==> Running target hello
hello world
==> Running target default
default target executed

You can include other dofiles as well.

dofile_hello:

hello:
    echo "hello"

dofile_world:

include dofile_hello

world: hello 
    echo "world"

dofile:

include dofile_world

default: world
    echo "default target executed"

Output:

==> Running target hello
hello
==> Running target world
world
==> Running target default
default target executed
