Creates a graph of dependencies from GNU-Make
Output can be generated for the following formats:
- Graphviz/dot
- Gexf-XML
- PlantUML
- Mermaid
- or a list of the deepest independent targets that should be make.
Notice that sub-makefiles are not supported.
- 2023-08-30 added format PlantUML
- 2023-08-30 added format Mermaid
- 2023-08-14 added options for setting graph, node, edge, and dirty attributes
- 2014-12-31 added option
--format, removed otpions 'x' and 'd' - 2014-12-22 added 'deep' output. I need this when I'm working on a cluster and I need to know the deepest independent targets that should be make.
- 2014-10-07 print version
- 2014-10-06 added --root option
- 2014-09-17 added long_opt , options basename and suffix
- 2014-09-16 fixed new format for GNU make v4.0
make- -h|--help help (this screen)
- -f|--format (format)
- (d)ot graphiz dot output (default) (x)ml output
- (g)exf XML output (M)ermaid output (P)lantUML output
- (E) print the deepest indepedent targets.
- (L)ist all targets.
- -b|--basename only print file basename
- -s|--suffix only print file extension
- -r|--root show root node
- -c|--colorscheme (scheme) Set colorscheme applied interleaved to all nodes.
- -g|--graph-attributes: Sets attributes applied to the graph.
- -n|--node-attributes: Sets attributes applied to all nodes.
- -e|--edge-attributes: Sets attributes applied to all edges.
- -e|--dirty-attributes: Sets attributes applied to dirty nodes only.
- -v|--version print version
