gmake-d

TL;DR

Want a new copy of GNU Make with built-in D support? Clone, build, and install.

Would you rather use your existing copy of GNU Make and include a small .mk file for D support? All you need is dlang.mk. Download it into your own repository and you are good.

Adding D to GNU Make

This repo contains a vanilla copy of GNU Make with defaults for D set.

This allows you to write standard Makefiles for use with D code. It provides an alternative to dub.

You can build this repository directly or you can use the dlang.diff file to patch your own GNU Make repository.

I will try to at least keep up-to-date with GNU Make releases.

Caveats

The default D compiler is GDC. If you'd like to use another compiler, either set the DC make variable in your Makefiles or change line 553 to one of:

"DC", "ldc"

or

"DC", "dmd"

depending on if you prefer LDC or DMD as your default D compiler.
