✨ MALMAKE(1) — the Malaga quick reference, but make it fashion ✨

okay bestie, so you know how Malaga is a whole development environment for natural-language grammars, right? And it's built on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism, and you can use those grammars for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis? Yeah. And malmake is the little icon that keeps your whole project from falling apart. Let's get into it. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

malmake — compile a Malaga project. That's it. That's the whole vibe. She compiles. She's the compiler of Malaga projects. periodt. 💖

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

malmake [-new] project-file

literally just hand her a project file and let her cook. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So. Malaga is a development environment for natural-language grammars, and those grammars are based on the Left-Associative Grammar formalism. Which means you can use Malaga grammars for automatic morphological and/or syntactic analysis. slay. 🌈

Now, malmake itself? She reads a project file, checks whether all the grammar files you need actually exist (vibe check on your filesystem, basically), and then translates every grammar file that either hasn't been translated yet, or whose source files have changed since the last time they got translated. She's not doing work twice, she's not doing work for free — main character energy with boundaries. 👑

And when she needs backup? She calls in malsym(1), mallex(1), and malrul(1), if needed. Bestie squad assembled. 🫶

tl;dr: malmake is, in essence, a make(1) for the Malaga programming language. same energy, different language. no cap. 💀

Oh and btw — for the full details, see info Malaga. go read it. iykyk. 📖✨

💖 OPTIONS 💖

  • -h[elp] — prints a help text all about malmake's command line arguments, then dips. she's helpful like that. 🩷
  • -n[ew] — (re)compile all the files, even if their sources haven't changed in the meantime. like, even the ones that are fine. she said "we're doing a fresh start today." respect. 🔥
  • -v[ersion] — prints malmake's version number and exits. a lil "who am i, what am i" moment. 🌟

👑 AUTHORS 👑

Malaga was developed by Bjoern Beutel. Numerous other people distributed to it (icons, every single one of them 🎀). And this manpage was originally written for the Debian distribution by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho. credit where credit is due, always. 💜

🌈 SEE ALSO 🌈

Also, the ``Malaga 7, User's and Programmer's Manual'' — you can get it on Debian systems via info Malaga, and if the malaga-doc package is installed, it comes in various formats (DVI, Postscript, PDF, HTML) under /usr/share/doc/malaga-doc/. so many formats. so much lore. 📚💅

okay that's the whole page bestie, go compile something iconic. this one's from the Malaga crew, dated 26 September 2006, filed under MALMAKE(1) — mwah, love u, bye 🫶✨
