Blog: Buildscripts and stuff [14th October 2005]
Ah, there's nothing like making life difficult for yourself. This site, you see, is maintained by a script of my own creation. For a very long time it's been a cygwin bash file, which at its heart is a massive find statement. This finds a bunch of html-like source files and runs them through an html preprocessor. I use iMatrix' HTMLPP - I can't say I particularly recommend it (it seems there's no ongoing development on it, it's a bit crufty and requires a bunch more stuff in the templated document than I'd really wish. Ideally I'd move to a modern, supported templating system (people have recommended Clearsilver to me, and it looks nice), but the effort of changing all my sources files (of which there are around forty, plus some files that are built automatically) would be a bunch of work. The bash script which drives this thing grew and grew, doing automatic image thumbnailing, having support to host source code files (importing them from a nearby live sourcetree and formatting them nicely), and having some basic blogging support. Imagemagick handled the image scaling.
