Each project sources MUST be delivered in a directory, the name of which shall be announced in advance by the tutors. In addition to the usual source files, and without additional specification, it SHOULD contain a number of additional files:
AUTHORS
Rationale: this file is to be grep
'ed over with a
^\* \([a-z-][a-z-]*_[a-z]\).*$regexp pattern to extract login names.
It is especially important to note that this specifications allows
for documenting a project by using actual text in the AUTHORS
file: the regexp will only extract the relevant information. For example,
consider the following text:
This project was written with the help of: * foo_b (Foo Bar), main developer; * baz_y (Baz Yay), code consultant; * franco_l (Ludovic François), tutor Many thanks to them for their contribution to the project. |
AUTHORS
file.

is automatically run before running the make
command. It MAY create or modify files in the current directory or
subdirectories, but MUST NOT expect to be run from a particular
location.
Rationale: allow for site configuration with Autoconf or similar tools.
Makefile*
Makefile
MUST be present at the
time the command make
is run.
Rationale: the Makefile
may include Makefile-rules.make
or similar files for architecture-dependent compilation options.
