man geant (Commandes) - build compilation script

NAME

geant - build compilation script

SYNOPSIS

geant [options] [target]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the geant, command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

geant Sometimes when projects get large it is useful to make build scripts more modular. It would be useful for example to call subtargets in a procedural manner and it would be useful to use more than one build script since the build script usually grows with the size of the project. With the geant task you can accomplish this.
