# CHEATSHEET FOR STUDIOUS POTATO MAKE
## Boilerplate
Add this at the top of your build script.
#!/usr/bin/env sh
exec guile -s "$0" "$@"
!#
(use-modules (studious-potato))
(initialize)
Add this at the bottom of your build script
(build)
The rules go in between `initialize` and `build`
## MAKEVARS
A hash table called `%makevars` has string keys. These procedures
are syntax that add quotation marks around `key`, so you call them without the quotes on
`key`. The returned value of `$` is a string, or an empty string on failure.
($ KEY) -> "VAL"
($ key [transformer])
Look up `key` in the `%makevars` hash table and return the result.
If a string-to-string transformer procedure is provided, apply it to each
space-separated token in the result.
(?= key val)
Assign `val` to `key` in the `%makevars` hash table. If `val` is a procedure,
assign its output to `key` the first time that `key` is referenced.
(:= key val)
Assign `val` to `key` in the `%makevars` hash table. If `val` is a procedure,
evaluate it and assign its output to `key` immediately.
## Rules
The *target rule* is for when the target, and the prerequisites, if any,
have filenames or phony names.
(: target-name '(prereq-name-1 prereq-name-2 ...)
recipe-1
recipe-2
...)
`target-name` is a string which is either a filename to be created
or an phony name like "all" or "clean".
Recipe as a string to be evaluated by the system
(: "foo.o" '("foo.c")
"cc -c foo.o")
Recipe as a procedure
(: "clean-foo" '()
(lambda ()
(delete-file "foo.o")))
Recipe as a procedure that returns #f to indicate failure
(: "recent" '()
(lambda ()
(if condition
#t
#f))))
Recipe as a procedure returning a string to be evaluated by the system
(: "foo.o" '("foo.c")
(lambda ()
(format #f "cc ~A -c foo.c" some-flags))
Recipe using recipe helper procedures, which create a string to be
evaluated by the system
(: "foo.c" '("foo.c")
(~ ($ CC) ($ CFLAGS) "-c" $<))
The *suffix rule* is a generic rule to convert one source file to
a target file, based on the filename extensions.
(-> ".c" ".o"
(~ ($ CC) ($ CFLAGS) "-c" $< "-o" $@))
## Recipe Helpers
Concatenate elements with `~`. `~` inserts spaces between the elements.
Elements can be
- strings
- procedures that return strings
- `%makevar` hash-table references
- special variables
- anything whose string representation as created by
(format #f "~A" ...) make sense
(~ "string" (lambda () "string") ($ KEY) $@ 100 )
Three versions of `~` with special effects
(~- ...) ignores any errors
(~@ ...) doesn't print recipe to console
(~+ ...) runs even when `--no-execute` was chosen
## Special Variables
Recipes can contain the following special variables
$@ the target
$* the target w/o a filename suffix
$< the first prerequisite
$^ the prerequisites, as a single space-separated string
$$^ the prerequisites, as a scheme list of strings
$? the prerequisites that are files newer than the target file
as a single space-separated string
$$? the prerequisites that are files newer than the target file
as a scheme list of strings
