Nim Makefile

A common Makefile for building Nim projects.

Features

• Building and running tests in the test folder
• Building any binaries in the bin folder
• Compiling any code embedded in the README.md
• Watching for changes and recompiling via make watch
• Dependency analysis to reduce unnecessary rebuilds
• Setting up the environment for a Travis CI build (see below)

Install

You can add this Makefile to your project with the following commands:

git submodule add https://github.com/Nycto/NimMakefile;
echo '$(info $(shell (git submodule status NimMakefile | grep -sP "^-") && git submodule update --init NimMakefile))' > Makefile;
echo 'include NimMakefile/makefile.mk' >> Makefile;

Once that is done, you can run make to compile your Nim project.

Travis CI Integration

To support building your Nim project with Travis CI, you can run the following command:

make travis-setup

Then, you just need to check in the .travis.yml file:

git add .travis.yml
git commit
