The README shows the tool widening beyond its original Graphviz/dot and GEXF XML output. It added a 'deep' output mode in December 2014, graph formatting controls in August 2023, and PlantUML and Mermaid output formats on August 30, 2023. ### Adoptionsgeschichte The official README describes a specific package-maintainer workflow: pipe 'make -Bnd' into make2graph, then feed dot output to Graphviz or emit XML, PlantUML, Mermaid, target lists, or deepest independent targets. Its adoption evidence is mostly repository-level and use-case based rather than institutional. The README's cluster note for deepest independent targets shows the tool solving a real build-analysis problem for complex makefiles. ### Wie es verwendet wird Typical usage is 'make -Bnd | make2graph > output.dot' or piping the result to Graphviz to render an image. Other formats include GEXF XML, Mermaid, PlantUML, all-target lists, and deepest independent target output. The README notes an important parser constraint: make2graph only parses English messages from GNU Make, so users with another locale should set LC_ALL=C. It also states that sub-makefiles are not supported. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren makefile2graph is the sort of tool package maintainers reach for when a makefile has become a dependency maze. It gives a visual or list-oriented view of what GNU Make thinks it is going to do. It is also interesting because it depends on GNU Make's own debug output rather than reimplementing a makefile parser. That keeps the tool small, but ties it to GNU Make output format and locale. ### Zeitleiste - 2014: GitHub repository is created. - 2014: README history records fixes for GNU Make 4.0 output and early CLI options. - 2014: 'deep' output is added for deepest independent targets. - 2023: Graph, node, edge, and dirty attribute options are added. - 2023: PlantUML and Mermaid output formats are added. ### Related projects - GNU Make is the input source whose debug output makefile2graph parses. - Graphviz/dot is the default graph output target. - PlantUML and Mermaid are later text graph output targets. ### Quellen - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Details aus der Quelldatenbank - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** makefile2graph - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Head Version:** HEAD - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** head, stable ## Andere Paketmanager-Einträge - Debian apt - makefile2graph - 2021.11.06-1+b1: normalized package name match | Debian stable package indexes: makefile2graph from https://deb.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages.xz | creates a graph of dependencies from GNU-Make | https://github.com/lindenb/makefile2graph - Nix - makefile2graph: normalized package name match | nixpkgs package indexes: pkgs/by-name/ma/makefile2graph/package.nix from https://api.github.com/repos/NixOS/nixpkgs/git/trees/master?recursive=1 - Ubuntu apt - makefile2graph - 2021.11.06-1: normalized package name match | Ubuntu 24.04 LTS package indexes: makefile2graph from https://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/noble/universe/binary-amd64/Packages.gz | creates a graph of dependencies from GNU-Make | https://github.com/lindenb/makefile2graph ## Verwandte Links - [Source-control packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/source-control-tools/) - Belongs to a source-control command family. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [graphviz](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/graphviz/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [git-big-picture](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/git-big-picture/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, graphviz, visualization. - [gprof2dot](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/gprof2dot/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, graphviz, visualization. - [make](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/make/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build, cli, developer-tools, makefiles. - [makedepend](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/makedepend/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build, cli, developer-tools, makefiles. - [xdot](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/xdot/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, graphviz, visualization. - [cargo-chef](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cargo-chef/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: build, cli, developer-tools. - [cargo-depgraph](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/cargo-depgraph/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, dependency-graph, developer-tools, graphviz, visualization. - [chronograf](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/chronograf/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, visualization. - [dockerfilegraph](https://www.automicvault.com/de/pkg/brew/dockerfilegraph/) - Local package facts share a topical domain.
