For Erlang specifically, you should probably use rebar (http://github.com/basho/rebar http://github.com/basho/rebar). It is pretty much the best thing ever.
A common pattern lately is to use rebar with a very minimal makefile that just makes things like "make" and "make test" do the equivalent rebar actions so that people unfamiliar with it don't even notice.
- trotter_cashion 16y agoRebar definitely looks pretty cool. Is there any documentation for it other than this video (http://vimeo.com/8311407 http://vimeo.com/8311407) though?
- metajack 16y agoThere is no real documentation yet, which is unfortunate. "rebar -c" is pretty helpful for what commands it has, and most of the layout conventions are not rebar's, but OTP's (those are documented here: http://www.erlang.org/doc/design_principles/applications.html#id69069 http://www.erlang.org/doc/design_principles/applications.htm...). A rebar.config.sample file is provided in the GitHub repo which lists every configuration option. The mailing list and its archives are also pretty useful if you get stuck.
