Description:
------------
Bake is yet another replacement for make.
Its main purpose is to improve make with a full scripting language,
improved pattern dependency generation, and remove various annoyances this
author finds in "make".
The bake language contains first class functions, first class modules,
statically scoped variables, a syntax that is a cross of javascript, perl,
make, and a small bit of haskell.
Bake is written in O'Caml, because it is a wonderful language for writing
other languages in.
Bake is quite functional, and available from the following subversion
repository: http://svn.hardison.net/bake/trunk/
By "functional", I mean I use bake every day in places where I used to use
make. Also, bake builds itself.
Bake is built by running the included "easybake" script,
which is an ocaml bytecode script.
(So ocamlrun is required to bootstrap it).
Other Software Required:
------------------------
Bake requires:
* O'Caml, the compiler and the runtime.
* the ocaml package Getopt
* (optional) the ocaml package OUnit (for tests)
* perl (for probe.pl, to find out if those other things are installed)
* bake (bake bootstraps itself using an ocaml bytecode executable)
Other Comments:
---------------
If this were to become a Gna! project, I would need to migrate the
subversion repository here.
