The structure of Bake is as close as possible to that of Make. When `bake' is executed, it searches for a file named `bakefile' of `Bakefile' in the current directory. Then the rules and actions defined in this file are performed.

Bakefiles are real Python source code, called through the `execfile' function. Everything that is allowed in Python is allowed in bakefiles, too.

The command line options of Bake are similar to those of Make.

Bake is well-documented. There are detailed manpages but best, as everywhere, you learn from examples.

• Manpage Bake(1)
• Manpage Bakefile(5)
• Example Bakefile
