How to make Python MakeFile - artblinked - Feb-20-2019 Hello! As I understand it makefiles are not so much required for python because it's not a compiled language, moreso interpreted. However, I need to make a makefile for my project. So... I know how to make a makefile for c++ but I've never done it for python. Everything I look at on google has this giant, long file that is waaay more than I'm looking for. Is there an easy 1 or 2 lines of code I can use to run my file? I have a single file ABAC_engine.py that contains all my code. Do I need to make it an executable first? How does this work? Let me know if there's info I need to include and I will find it. Thanks in advance to all! I forgot to add that it must be able to be called with: abacmonitor command-line-arguments-go-here RE: How to make Python MakeFile - artblinked - Feb-22-2019 I'm going to go ahead and post this here since there is so little on the internet about making python makefiles. This is what I used (and it works): PY=python3 ZIP=abacmonitor.zip MAIN=main DIR=$(PWD) .SUFFIXES: .py FILES = \ abacmonitor.py All: echo " $(PY) $(DIR)/$(FILES) " \"'$$1'\" > abacmonitor chmod 777 abacmonitorA little explaination: PY=python3 (this is my python version) FILES (this is my python file. I only had one) All: (this is the main part of it which grabs the python version, directory location, and filename and uses it alongside another command $$1 which works with another file to feed input from .txt files as arguments into the program.) |
