mkmed

mkmed automatically generates package build scripts and related files. Unlike make, mkmed works bottom-up, so it can infer information you would otherwise have to specify explicitly.

This package is discussed on the mkmed list. New releases are announced on the prjware-announce list.

Releases

mkmed is devoid of warranty and is distributed under the GNU General Public License, version 2. But that doesn't mean it's necessarily a good idea for you to distribute modified versions. (That includes repackaging.) I'd like to know if you plan to do that.

This link always points to the latest version (currently 2020.04.24).

Older versions are published for historical interest.

You can get the latest development sources with:

$ git clone git://git.dogmap.org/mkmed.git

Dependencies

To build and run mkmed, you need my prjlibs package. Edit conf-compile/depend_* as necessary during installation. To run mkmed, you also need GNU Guile.

Installation

slashpackage is a good thing. You can read more about it here. If you don't already have /package, create it (on any filesystem you like, as long as it's accessible by the name “/package”):

# mkdir -p /usr/local/package
# ln -s /usr/local/package /
# chmod +t /package/.

Then run sp-install:

# sp-install mkmed-VERSION.tar.bz2

Or, if you like to do things manually, unpack the tarball and run package/install:

# cd /package
# bunzip2 < /path/to/mkmed-VERSION.tar.bz2 |
> tar -xpf -
# cd prog/mkmed-VERSION
# package/install

Read package/README and package/INSTALL for more detailed instructions.
