Make_it 1.2
Make_it is a very useful tool for doing compilations on a NeXT using Edit. It was inspired by the famous TURBO-Compilers from Messy-DOS - and it's even more easy to use !
Just pressing a hot-key in Edit, you can start a compilation. You automatically arrive in Make_it and now you can easily trace down the errors from the compilation just with one mouse-click. You can even do this if the compilation is still not finished yet, because the command runs in the background. Make_it is not restricted to compilations, you can also do greps, recursing into subdirectories.
Make_it has been much improved since the first version.
Make_it can be used for many tasks, which you cannot do with ProjectBuilder as easily:
Use another compiler, like gcc, g++
Use grep instead of a compiler
Switch quickly between different directories
Use different Makefiles
Allow sub-makes and recurse into subdirectories
Use GNU-Make instead of NeXT's make
Customize to include your own commands
Make_it is the definite tool for building and porting standard unix software.
Make_it runs on NS3.0 now and will soon be available for NeXTSTEP Intel.
Make_it is shareware: 20 $.
