Description: Makatic is a set of command-line tools which can automate much of the management of C, C++ and Assembler projects. The Makatic tools automatically generate and run makefiles, by looking for source files in the project directory, and adding equivalent .o filenames to a user-supplied template makefile. This means that adding or removing a source-file to a project doesn't mean one has to edit a makefile, or inform a desktop front-end such as '!Make' about the change. This is particularly helpful with large projects, particularly if they involve building different versions of a project from the same source code.
