This repository contains a collection of GNU Make scripts that locate and/or install Flame-based projects. The goal of these scripts is to minimize the amount of hassle users experience when building your project: they either find an existing install of a tool or automatically build it from source. Running make should Just Work.
You can simply copy the scripts and put them in your own repository or—better yet—include this repository as a git submodule.
use-ecsc.mk tries to find the ecsc Enhanced C# compiler and exposes it using the ECSC variable. If there's no global ecsc command, then use-ecsc.mk builds ecsc from source and makes $(ECSC) expand to a command that runs the local ecsc build.
Here's an example Makefile that uses use-ecsc.mk to provide ecsc.
include /path/to/use-ecsc.mk
out.exe: code.cs | ecsc
$(ECSC) code.cs -platform clr -o out.exeRead the comments at the top of use-ecsc.mk for a more complete description.
use-flame-llvm.mk tries to find the flame-llvm Flame IR -> LLVM IR compiler and exposes it using the FLAME_LLVM variable. If there's no global flame-llvm command, then use-flame-llvm.mk builds flame-llvm from source and makes $(FLAME_LLVM) expand to a command that runs the local flame-llvm build. Building from source only works if you're running a Debian-based distribution with LLVM 3.8 installed.
Here's an example Makefile that uses both use-ecsc.mk and use-flame-llvm.mk to compile a C# file to a native executable.
include /path/to/use-ecsc.mk
include /path/to/use-flame-llvm.mk
a.out: code.cs | ecsc flame-llvm
$(ECSC) code.cs -platform ir -o obj.flo
$(FLAME_LLVM) obj.flo -platform llvm -o out.ll
clang out.ll -lgc -o a.outRead the comments at the top of use-flame-llvm.mk for a more complete description.
