Hi Christian, >Hello everyone, > >I have, already years ago, created a doxygen-style documentation tool >for Makefiles.
I love the idea, and have done something similar... >It allows documenting variables and targets using ## (double-hash) comments. I found it advisable to require an additional character (!) after the double-hash to signify beginning of help text block, thus avoiding turning stray comments of included libraries into help. Does it support target specific variables? >These comments can then be accessed by running the tool, preferably >via a command like make help. >I hope this tool is useful for others, and I'm posting it here so that >if people are searching this mailing list for such a tool, they may >have a chance to find it. >Find the tool here: https://github.com/christianhujer/makehelp Neat trick that it can self-install, however, won’t it install in `pwd` after any possible directory change wrought by -C? I may switch to your lib. Thanks, Malcolm
