# Makefile Dependency Auditor

Parses GNU Makefiles using pymake and builds complete dependency DAGs. Detects circular dependencies, unreachable targets, missing prerequisites, and generates optimal parallel build orderings.

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- Make
- Make gets its knowledge of how to build your program from a file
- should write a makefile for it, so that it is possible to use Make to
- Make enables the end user to build and install your package

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- file depends on another non-source file.
- header file does not require it.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- commands to compute it. These shell commands can run a compiler to
- example, the -o file option which says pretend that
