.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
.I Make
|
|
is a program that is normally used for developing large programs consisting of
|
|
multiple files.
|
|
It keeps track of which object files depend on which source and header files.
|
|
When called, it does the minimum amount of recompilation to bring the target
|
|
file up to date.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The file dependencies are expected in
|
|
.I makefile
|
|
or
|
|
.I Makefile ,
|
|
unless another file is specified with \fB\-f\fR.
|
|
.I Make
|
|
has some default rules built in, for example, it knows how to make
|
|
.I .o
|
|
files
|
|
from
|
|
.I .c
|
|
files.
|
|
Here is a sample
|
|
.I makefile .

|

d=/user/ast # \fId\fP is a macro
|
|
program: head.o tail.o # \fIprogram\fR depends on these
|
|
cc \-o program head.o tail.o # tells how to make \fIprogram\fP
|
|
echo Program done. # announce completion
|
|
head.o: $d/def.h head.c # \fIhead.o\fP depends on these
|
