  Description     : ckon is an automatic build tool for C++ software developed within the CERN ROOT data analysis framework.

ckon is a C++ program/tool which automatically takes care of compilation, dictionary generation and linking of programs and libraries developed for data analyses within the CERN ROOT analysis framework. This includes parsing include headers to figure out which libraries the main programs need to be linked to. It uses automake/autoconf to be platform independent and GNU install compliant. In addition, m4 macros are automatically downloaded and the according compiler flags included based on a list of boost libraries provided in the config file. For the purpose of YAML database usage, a m4 macro can be downloaded during setup to link against the yaml-cpp library.
