smake is a utility that allows developers to build makefiles in 100% TCL (with the smake extensions). This allows one to use all the facilities that TCL provides to deal with large projects like namespaces, packages, database access etc.

''The small smake[http://people.fishpool.fi/~setok/proj/smake/] program by [Kristoffer Lawson] proved immensely useful for me; but it took me some while to figure out how to tweak it that it suited my needs perfectly - just put Tcl commands in the right place.  --[Philipp Roessler]''

2008-02-29: git repository

[Setok] I now added the files into two [git] repositories. They do not yet contain the patches from [smake musings], but now they should be fairly easy to incorporate (plus there are many benefits to git). You need the smake repository and our codebase-tcl repository. Get them this way:

   * git clone http://people.fishpool.fi/~setok/git/smake

   * git clone http://people.fishpool.fi/~setok/git/codebase-tcl

codebase-tcl needs to be symlinked into the smake directory as 'codebase'. Let me know if you think there's a better way to do this with git.
