When would using a scripting language within a larger program be useful?

Should I use a formal grammar for my interpreted scripting language

Checking out and compiling repository. What is the correct approach for starting the compilation process?
I am writing a Bash script that automatically updates a repository containing source code and then compiles it. I have been a bit stuck on the part about how to start the compilation itself, i.e. if I should cat all the files in the repository and look for the main (or equivalent) function and then compile that file. Or if I should let the user specify which file in the repository contains the main function (or possibly a makefile) in the config file. This option requires more work and insight from the user, but I fear that the first option might cause long delays by unnecessary scanning all the files in the repository. What would be the best approach for solving this problem?
