make

Summary

make'' runs make after cloning or updating a plugin. It supports passing arguments to make and can be ordered before or after atclone''/atpull'' using the ! prefix.

Syntax / Usage

zi ice make                              # run make with no args (default target)
zi ice make"install PREFIX=$ZPFX"        # pass arguments
zi ice make"!"                           # run make BEFORE atclone/atpull
zi ice make"!!"                          # run make before make! and before atclone/atpull

Details

Without a value, make runs the default target. Any string value is passed as arguments to the make command.

Ordering variants:

• make'' (no prefix): runs after mv'', cp'', and atclone''/atpull''.
• make'!': runs before atclone''/atpull'' but after mv''/cp''.
• make'!!': runs before make'!', i.e. the earliest possible stage.

$ZPFX is automatically available and points to the Zinit polaris prefix (~/.local/share/zinit/polaris by default). Use it to install into the user prefix without root.

Examples

# Build and install git-extras into $ZPFX
zi ice as"program" pick"$ZPFX/bin/git-*" make"PREFIX=$ZPFX"
zi light tj/git-extras

# Run ./configure before make (using !)
zi ice as"program" atclone"./configure" atpull"%atclone" make pick"src/vim"
zi light vim/vim

# Direnv: run make! to build before atclone generates hook
zi ice as"program" make'!' atclone'./direnv hook zsh > zhook.zsh' atpull'%atclone' src"zhook.zsh"
zi light direnv/direnv
