Is there an ultimate Makefile?: Part 1 - Applications

Have you ever struggled with writing your Makefile manually or dealing with your projects without depending on a specific IDE? If so, this article is for you to break your chains.

Picture this: a Makefile that adapts to your project like a chameleon, requiring only a few parameter tweaks to fit most of your needs. Gone are the days of wrestling with convoluted build scripts or spending hours integrating external libraries. With this Makefile in your arsenal, you'll conquer the build process with ease and finesse.

Who is this article for?

• If you have a GNU Linux development environment.
• If you are using GNU compilers such as g++.
• If you don't depend on any IDE for project configurations.

A curated list of command-line utilities written in Rust

Note: I have moved this list to a proper repository. I'll leave this gist up, but it won't be updated. To submit an idea, open a PR on the repo.

Note that I have not tried all of these personally, and cannot and do not vouch for all of the tools listed here. In most cases, the descriptions here are copied directly from their code repos. Some may have been abandoned. Investigate before installing/using.

The ones I use regularly include: bat, dust, fd, fend, hyperfine, miniserve, ripgrep, just, cargo-audit and cargo-wipe.

###While this script does concatenate pdf files, I haven't yet figured out in which order it does so. On a sample of 19 pdf files, logically named 01something.pdf, 02something.pdf, 03something.pdf, etc. the order of the merged product seemed almost random...

...from Tiger onwards, OSX ships with a Python script that concatenates pdf files (merges them together). The script is already executable, and Python is pre-installed on OS X, so all you need to do is point it at your pdf files and run

"/System/Library/Automator/Combine PDF Pages.action/Contents/Resources/join.py" -o PATH/TO/YOUR/MERGED/FILE.pdf /PATH/TO/ORIGINAL/1.pdf /PATH/TO/ANOTHER/2.pdf /PATH/TO/A/WHOLE/DIR/*.pdf

I prefer putting the link in /usr/local/bin, as it is in the $PATH and therefore I can run the command from anywhere. To set up the link, you need to navigate to the directory where you want the link.
