# A Makefile for Arduino Sketches
|
|
|
|
This is a very simple Makefile which knows how to build Arduino sketches. It defines the entire workflows for compiling code, flashing it to Arduino and even communicating through Serial monitor. You don't need to change anything in the Arduino sketches.
|
|
|
|
If you're using Debian or Ubuntu, you can find this in the `arduino-mk` package.
|
|
|
|
## Credits
|
|
|
|
This makefile was originally created by [Martin Oldfield](http://mjo.tc/atelier/2009/02/arduino-cli.html) and he maintained it till v0.10.2.
|
|
From May 2013, it is maintained by [Sudar](http://hardwarefun.com)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
Download a copy of this repo some where in your system.
|
|
|
|
On the Mac you might want to set:
|
|
|
|
ARDUINO_DIR = /Applications/Arduino.app/Contents/Resources/Java
|
|
ARDMK_DIR = /usr/local
|
|
|
|
On Linux, you might prefer:
|
|
|
|
ARDUINO_DIR = /usr/share/arduino
|
|
ARDMK_DIR = /usr/local
|
|
AVR_TOOLS_DIR = /usr
|
|
|
|
The Makefile also delegates resetting the board to a short Perl program.
|
|
You'll need to install `Device::SerialPort` to use it though. You'll also
|
|
need the `YAML` library to run ard-parse-boards.
|
|
|
|
On Debian or Ubuntu:
|
|
|
|
apt-get install libdevice-serialport-perl
|
|
apt-get install libyaml-perl
|
|
|
|
On Fedora:
|
|
|
|
yum install perl-Device-SerialPort
|
|
yum install perl-YAML
|
|
|
|
On Mac using MacPorts:
|
|
|
|
sudo port install p5-device-serialport
|
|
sudo port install p5-YAML
|
|
|
|
and use /opt/local/bin/perl5 instead of /usr/bin/perl
|
|
|
|
On other systems:
|
|
|
|
cpanm Device::SerialPort
|
|
cpanm YAML
|
|
|
|
## User Libraries
|
|
|
|
In order to use Arduino libraries installed in the user's sketchbook folder (the
|
|
standard location for custom libraries when using the Arduino IDE), you need to
|
|
set the `ARDUINO_SKETCHBOOK` variable to point to this directory. By default it
|
|
is set to `$HOME/sketchbook`.
|
|
|
|
## Versioning
|
|
|
|
The current version of the makefile is `0.10.5`. You can find the full history in the [HISTORY.md](HISTORY.md) file
|
|
|
|
This project adheres to Semantic [Versioning 2.0](http://semver.org/).

|
## Know Issues / TODO's
|
|
|
|
- Doesn't work with Arduino 1.5.x yet.
|
|
- Since it doesn't do any pre processing like Arduino IDE, you have to declare all methods before you use them ([issue #59](https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile/issues/59))
|
|
- More than one .ino or .pde file is not supported yet ([issue #49](https://github.com/sudar/Arduino-Makefile/issues/49))
|
|
|
|

## Similar works
|
|
- It's not a derivative of this, but Alan Burlison has written a [similar thing](http://bleaklow.com/2010/06/04/a_makefile_for_arduino_sketches.html).
|
|
- Alan's Makefile was used in a [Pragmatic Programmer's article](http://pragprog.com/magazines/2011-04/advanced-arduino-hacking).
|
|
- Rei Vilo wrote to tell me that he's using the Makefile ina Xcode 4 template called [embedXcode](http://embedxcode.weebly.com/). Apparently it supports many platforms and boards, including AVR-based Arduino, AVR-based Wiring, PIC32-based chipKIT, MSP430-based LaunchPad and ARM3-based Maple.
