c-projects - A set of tools for creating and compiling small C/C++ projects.
This document refers to c-projects version 1.00
C/C++ Projects is a set of tools for the creation and compiling of small projects written in C/C++.
Developing small projects in C/C++ that have multiple sources files can be tedious. Adding, removing, or renaming sources files require changes to the Makefile and is often repetitive. This tool set is designed to replace maintenance of the Makefile with automatic compiling of the source files.
All one has to do is add, edit, or remove the source files and run make.
This tool set will determine the sources files and their dependencies
and compile them.
Decide where to place this tool set and clone the Github repo. To place it in your home directory:
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/shawnhcorey/c-projects.git
It is now ready for new projects.
Use newprj.sh to create a directory for the project.
This also sets up the necessary files to compile it.
Then change to the directory and add the C/C++ files.
To make the executable, run make.
cd ~/c-projects
newprj.sh myproject
cd myproject
# add C/C++ files
make
The make will create an executable with the same name as the project.
In the above case, it will be named myproject.
You can edit the C/C++ files and use make to recompile.
The tools can be updated with update.sh.
update.sh
This requires the packages to build and make C programs.
Use the following command to install the required packages.
sudo apt install build-essential man-pages git-all
