makeflow_linker - automatic dependency location for workflows

makeflow_linker [options] <workflow_description>

makeflow_linker is a tool for automatically determining dependencies of workflows. It accepts a workflow description, currently Makeflow syntax is required, and recursively determines the dependencies and produces a self-contained package. makeflow_linker supports Python, Perl, and shared libraries.

makeflow_linker finds dependencies by static analysis. eval and other dynamic code loading may obscure dependencies causing makeflow_linker to miss some critical dependencies. Therefore it is recommended to avoid these techniques when desiging a workflow.

 --dry-run
Run without creating directories or copying dependencies.
 -h, --help
Show this help screen.
 -n, --use-named
Do not copy files which are part of a named dependency, e.g. standard libraries.
Specify output directory.
 --verbose
Output status during run.
 -v, --version
Display version information.

On success, returns zero. On failure (typically permission errors), returns non-zero.

  • The makeflow_linker does not check for naming collisions beyond the initial workflow inputs.
  • The makeflow_linker relies on regex parsing of files

Package a workflow:

makeflow_linker -o example_mf example.mf

Run packaged workflow:

makeflow example_mf/example.mf
