Using Shelly instead of Makefile?

[cmpitg]

Hi,

Have you considered using Shelly instead of Makefile? :-)

Shelly has a different design goal than I have in mind. It requires installing commands into a shelly directory and does not produce standalone executables. Quickapp uses buildapp to create standalone executables that don't actually require a lisp implementation to run, just compile.

How about providing a shlyfile.lisp.template as an alternative to Makefile.template? I'm sure there are people like me who would prefer using Shelly to Make.

I'll add it as an option to the quickapp function.
