# zmk is a collection of reusable makefiles

ZMK is a feature-rich library for writing Makefiles. It provides a good degree

of features of the classic auto{conf,make} + libtool tool-chain, while being

easier to understand, highly-parallel and, most importantly, devoid of

generated cruft that's just unreadable by humans.

```

include z.mk

Project.Name = hello

Project.Version = 1

hello.Sources = hello.c

$(eval $(call ZMK.Expand,Program,hello))

```

ZMK integrates nicely with package managers which expect autotools, it comes

with a short, readable configuration script that accepts many of the same

options that autoconf would expose. It's just a `make configure` away.

## Features

 - Describe programs, test programs, static libraries, shared libraries,

   development headers, manual pages and more

 - Use familiar targets like "all", "check", "install", "uninstall" and "clean"

 - Works out of the box on popular distributions of Linux and MacOS

 - Friendly to distribution packaging expecting autotools

 - Compile natively with gcc, clang, tcc or the open-watcom compilers

 - Cross compile with gcc and open-watcom

 - Efficient and incremental, including the install target

## Examples

Please browse the examples present in the git repository. If you had installed

zmk through the Debian package, the examples are added to the `zmk-doc`

package. Use `dpkg -L zmk-doc` to find them.

## Stability Guarantee

ZMK is a responsible library. The project promises not to introduce

backwards-incompatible changes in normal circumstances. ZMK is implemented as a

Make library, which effectively means there are only make rules and variables.

ZMK considers all capitalized symbols, such as `ZMK.Program` to be the public

API covered by the stability guarantee. Internal symbols either start with a

lower case character, or have one immediately following a dot, for example

`zmk.foo` or `ZMK.foo`.
