Hello everyone. I was looking for a Lint-like tool for Makefiles. The ones I could find either seemed abandoned (like mint) or had a broken build (checkmake) and other fundamental flaws (not operating on included Makefiles). I hope to get some responses on this list here for more tools that people have created. Because I couldn't find one that works for me, I created one.
The first two checks implemented are, which isn't much but at least a start: • Report direct usage of `rm` (should use `$(RM)` instead). ⇐ This one was the reason for writing this tool, a dev had used rm instead of $(RM) in clean, causing it to fail on consecutive runs. • Report direct usage of `make` (should use `$(MAKE)` instead). Find the tool here: https://github.com/christianhujer/makelint It is helping us already in projects, and I hope it will also help others. Best regards, -- Christian Hujer
