Mosmake

This manual describes the Mosmake system, version 0.9. If and when I learn that Mosmake is being used to build at least three projects that I'm not codeveloping, I'll bump the version number to 1.0...

Mosmake is a makefile infrastructure that helps manage the (re)compilation of programs written in Moscow ML 2.0. It needs GNU make and Perl to work.
