MaKL’s goal is to make C/C++ project configuration and building as simple and flexible as possible. MaKL does not enforce the developer to learn complex new definition languages: only a basic knowledge of shell scripting and GNU Make is necessary. A set of powerful predefined functions and templates eliminate the complexity of configuration and build scripts, hence removing a big burden from developers.

MaKL HowTos

The following sections give an introduction to MaKL auto-configuration, build and toolchain tuning features. Cross building capabilities will also be covered in a separate section. All the examples are based on the same hierarchy found in the test/ directory of the MaKL distribution.

For instructions on how to installing MaKL on your platform, refer to the top level README file in the package tarball.
