====== Why? ======

MaKL's goal is to make C/C++ project configuration and building as simple and flexible as possible. MaKL does not enforce the developer to learn complex new definition languages: only a basic knowledge of shell scripting and GNU Make is necessary. A set of powerful predefined functions and templates eliminate the complexity of configuration and build scripts, hence removing a big burden from developers.

====== MaKL HowTos ======

The following sections give an introduction to MaKL auto-configuration, build and toolchain tuning features.  Cross building capabilities will also be covered in a separate section.  All the examples are based on the same hierarchy found in the ''test/'' directory of the MaKL distribution.  

For instructions on how to installing MaKL on your platform, refer to the top level ''README'' file in the package tarball.
