./devel/hs-shake, Build system library, like Make, but more accurate dependencies

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 0.19.8nb1, Package name: hs-shake-0.19.8nb1, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

Shake is a Haskell library for writing build systems - designed as a replacement
for make. See Development.Shake for an introduction, including an example. The
homepage contains links to a user manual, an academic paper and further
information: https://shakebuild.com

To use Shake the user writes a Haskell program that imports Development.Shake,
defines some build rules, and calls the Development.Shake.shakeArgs function.
Thanks to do notation and infix operators, a simple Shake build system is not
too dissimilar from a simple Makefile. However, as build systems get more
complex, Shake is able to take advantage of the excellent abstraction facilities
offered by Haskell and easily support much larger projects. The Shake library
provides all the standard features available in other build systems, including
automatic parallelism and minimal rebuilds. Shake also provides more accurate
dependency tracking, including seamless support for generated files, and
dependencies on system information (e.g. compiler version).
