.SH NAME
cgal_create_makefile \- create makefiles for applications using CGAL
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cgal_create_makefile
.BR -d | -t | -q
.RI [ filename ]
.SH DESCRIPTION
The script
.B cgal_create_makefile
allows the simple creation of makefiles for applications which use the CGAL
library. The generated rules contain the proper compiler and linker flags for
the CGAL library itself as well as for all libaries supported by CGAL. For each
source file with suffix
.I C
or
.IR cpp ,
a rule for the corresponding object file is generated. If the source file
contains a
.I main()
function, a rule for an executable is also generated (the script assumes that
each application consists of a single object file).
.SH OPTIONS
