how to make a makefile easy and simple

You can install any script easily.

####¿Can i execute bash in a makefile?

Yes. Just add the command with @

examples:

        @echo "hi everybody!"

        @echo "removing files md..."
        @rm *.md
        @echo "done"

making a package (deb) (debian/ubuntu/mint) of any script in bash declared with #!/bin/code

package:
	@mkdir .temp
	@mkdir -p .temp/usr/bin & mkdir -p .temp/usr/share/myscript
	@cp myscript .temp/usr/bin/ & cp myscript .temp/usr/share/myscript/
	@mkdir ./.temp/DEBIAN
	@echo "Package: myscript" >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Priority: optional " >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Section: shells " >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Maintainer: myname " >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Architecture: all " >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Version: 1.0 " >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Depends: " >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@echo "Description: mydescription"  >> ./.temp/DEBIAN/control
	@chmod +x .temp/usr/bin/myscript
	@dpkg -b .temp mypackage.deb
	@sudo rm -r .temp

Find and set: "myscript", for your name of script and extension. "myname", with your name. "mydescription", with the description of your package. "mypackage", with the name of your package deb.

Install script in makefile

install:
	@install -d $(DESTDIR)/usr/share/myscript/
	@install -d $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin
	@install -v -m permissions myscript $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/

Find and set: "myscript", for your name of script and extension. "permissions", with the permissions of your script, ex. @install -v -m 755 myscript $(DESTDIR)/usr/bin/

I will make a script called "testscript" with the makefile in this repository to test it.

sudo make install
sudo make package
sudo make remove

script use: testscript

Installing package deb

sudo dpkg -i package.deb
