An Nx plugin to integrate Make/Makefile tasks into the Nx dependency graph.

This repository contains the source code for the nx-make plugin, which enables seamless integration of Make-based build systems with Nx workspaces.

• 🔍 Automatically detects Makefiles in your workspace
• 📊 Integrates Make targets into the Nx project graph
• ⚡ Run Make targets using Nx executors
• 🔗 Leverage Nx caching and dependency management with your Make tasks
• 🎯 Simple configuration and setup

For existing C/Make projects, use the installation script:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ZackDeRose/nx-make/main/install.sh | bash

This will:

• Check for Node.js and offer to install it
• Add Nx to your project
• Install @zackderose/nx-make
• Configure nx.json
• Verify gcc/clang availability

npm install -D @zackderose/nx-make

pnpm add -D @zackderose/nx-make

yarn add -D @zackderose/nx-make

1. Add the plugin to your nx.json:

{
  "plugins": [
    {
      "plugin": "nx-make"
    }
  ]
}

2. Create a Makefile in any project directory

3. Run nx show project <your-project> to see discovered Make targets
