Netmake Release

[Profetas]

Hi,

Sorry, if this is off topic, but I couldn't find a better place to
announce the first release of NetMake.

NetMake is an extension of GNU Make, it allows multiple server
compilation.

That means ,you can have your source files spread in different servers and
the NetMake will download the files (if it doesn't exist in the current
server , or if it's been modified) and proceed to the compilation.

The only syntax change over the GNU Make is the server specification,
where a @ is used, for example

Http:

@http://www.example1.com/file.c
@www.example1.com/file.c

Both rules, specified above will work correctly.

FTP server:

@ftp.user.pass.server/glob.c

an example of a makefile using netmake rules.

CC = gcc -ansi -pedantic
OBJS = read.o bui.o run.o main.o par.o prn.o
SRC = main.c read.c prn.c run.c par.c bui.c

prog: ${OBJS}
${CC} -o prog ${CFLAGS} ${OBJS} -lm

prn.o: prn.c prn.h glob.h
${CC} -c prn.c

read.o: @http://www.example1.com/read.c read.h glob.h
${CC} -c read.c

run.o: run.c run.h glob.h
${CC} -c run.c
par.o: par.c par.h glob.h
${CC} -c par.c

bui.o: @ftp.username.pass.cs3.brookes.ac.uk/bui.c bui.h glob.h
${CC} -c bui.c

main.o: @ftp.username.pass.cs3.brookes.ac.uk/main.c main.h glob.h
${CC} -c main.c
clean:
rm -f ${OBJS}
rm prog
rm main.c read.c bui.c
@echo "Deleted!"

Why not gnu.announce?
