makemake

Automatic make watch, in 20 lines of POSIX shell.

Dependencies

makemake is a single shell script, so just drop it somewhere in your $PATH and make it executable:

$ curl -sSLO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sersorrel/makemake/master/makemake
$ mv makemake ~/.local/bin/
$ chmod +x ~/.local/bin/makemake

Run makemake from the directory containing your makefile, passing the name of a target as the argument:

$ makemake all

makemake will automatically watch all files that the target depends on, and rerun make every time one of them changes.
