Note that this is by no means the only or most optomal project structure, but it is a good enough starting point that evolved through several, big and small project to start the next one from (at least for me, subjectively).

Building

To build all components:

$ make all

To build a specific component:

$ make block.pdf

block.pdf in this case.

Structure
