It supports almost all of the syntax that GNU make supports, +and can be used with makefiles produced by utilities such as automake. + +Some of makepp's extra features include: + +- Extended Makefile syntax, including embedded perl code. +- Logging and extra diagnostics, which allows makepp to act as "lint" + for Makefiles. +- Can create a visual graph of the dependencies in a Makefile, using + graphviz for rendering. |
