# make-dylan-lib(1)

Dylan Makefile Utility

## NAME

make-dylan-lib - Dylan Makefile Utility

## SYNOPSIS

**make-dylan-lib** *libname* \]

## WARNING

This man page is intended to supplement the main Gwydion Dylan documentation at *http://www.gwydiondylan.org/*. It provides an incomplete reference of the available options. For a full reference or a tutorial, please see the web site.

## DESCRIPTION

**make-dylan-lib** creates a skeleton build directory for a Dylan project.  If you supply it the name of a library,  **make-dylan-lib** will do the work of creating a sample implementation file, library interface definition (LID) file, an exports file, and a simple Makefile. You can then edit these files and then use [make(1)](/make/1.md) to compile and test your work.
