💖 mate-autogen — bestie edition 💖

okay so real talk, this is mate-autogen(1) from the MATE crew, and she's a tiny lil script with main character energy ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

mate-autogen — she generates all the makefiles for MATE packages. that's it. that's the whole job. and she slays at it 💅

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

mate-autogen

no flags, no arguments, no drama. you just run her. periodt 🎀

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so mate-autogen generates all makefiles for MATE packages. like, all of them. every single one. she's not doing a half job, bestie 💖

now here's the tea — if you wanna use the common autogen script (iykyk), the move is to make a stub autogen.sh script inside your module. 🫶

and where do you get the blueprint for that stub? glad you asked. go grab the example sitting in the autogen.sh.example file, which lives in the mate-common documentation folder. copy the vibe, drop in your stub, done. 🌈
