gmakemake

As a computer science major at RIT, you have likely taken (or will take) mechanics of programming. In that class you might have seen or used a command line tool called gmakemake to create makefiles for C programming projects.

If you are looking to use this tool outside of class, you're in luck because the source code written by Sidney Marshall (swm) has been published at http://www.cs.rit.edu/~swm/makemake/ and a github fork has cropped up as well.
