Show HN: A task runner / simpler Make alternative written in Go
- linkdd 5y agoSome interesting ideas for sure. But by reading the "Usage" guide, I did not find how to implement this: EXEC = example.exe SOURCES = src/main.c src/example.c # ... OBJECTS = src/main.o src/example.o # ... HEADERS = includes/example.h # ... all: $(EXEC) $(EXEC): $(OBJECTS) $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $^ -o $@ %.o: %.c $(HEADERS) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $< -o $@ On another note, make is not that hard, it's available on every platform, a Makefile can be very short even for complex build systems. I'm not sure replacing it with a YAML file is such a great idea. Don't get me wrong, some of the features exposed here are very good and I would like to have them in make: - .env support and dynamic variables (like the GIT_COMMIT example) - namespaces - explicit fingerprinting - cleanup with defer - dry run mode
