Build system library, like Make, but more accurate dependencies
Description
Shake is a Haskell library for writing build systems - designed as a
replacement for 'make'. See "Development.Shake" for an introduction, including
an example. The homepage contains links to a user manual, an academic paper and
further information: <https://shakebuild.com>
To use Shake the user writes a Haskell program that imports
"Development.Shake", defines some build rules, and calls the
'Development.Shake.shakeArgs' function. Thanks to do notation and infix
operators, a simple Shake build system is not too dissimilar from a simple
Makefile. However, as build systems get more complex, Shake is able to take
advantage of the excellent abstraction facilities offered by Haskell and easily
support much larger projects. The Shake library provides all the standard
features available in other build systems, including automatic parallelism and
minimal rebuilds. Shake also provides more accurate dependency tracking,
including seamless support for generated files, and dependencies on system
information (e.g. compiler version).
