MKDEP(1)
NAME
mkdep -- construct Makefile dependency list
SYNOPSIS
mkdep [-ap] [-f file] [flags] file [...]
DESCRIPTION
- mkdep takes a set of flags for the C compiler and a list of C source
files as arguments and constructs a set of include file dependencies
which are written into the file ``.depend''. An example of its use in a Makefile might be: - CFLAGS= -O -I../include
SRCS= file1.c file2.c - depend:
mkdep ${CFLAGS} ${SRCS}
- where the macro SRCS is the list of C source files and the macro CFLAGS
is the list of flags for the C compiler. - The options are as follows:
- -a Append to the output file, so that multiple mkdep's may be run
- from a single Makefile.
- -f file
- Write the include file dependencies to file, instead of the default ``.depend''.
- -p Cause mkdep to produce dependencies of the form:
program: program.c- so that subsequent makes will produce program directly from its C module rather than using an intermediate .o module. This is useful for programs whose source is contained in a single module.
