Short: Port of GNU make with SAS/C (no ixemul.library required)

Author: GNU, Amiga port by Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla

Uploader: Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla (digulla@fh-konstanz.de)

Type: dev/c

This is a pure Amiga port of GNU make. It needs no extra libraries or

anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of

GNU make):

- Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)

- Can run multi-line statements

- Allows to use Device-Names in targets:

        c:make : make.o

    is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE

    looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target

    delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note

    that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".

- Replaces @@ by a newline in any command line:

        if exists make @@\

            delete make.bak quiet @@\

            rename make make.bak @@\

        endif @@\

        $(CC) Link Make.o To make

    works. Note that the @@ must stand alone (i.e., "make@@\" is illegal).

    Also be careful that there is a space after the "\" (i.e., at the

    beginning of the next line).

- Can be made resident to save space and time

- Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)

BUGS:

- The line

    dummy.h : src/*.c

tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (i.e., no wildcard-expansion takes

place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.

COMPILING FROM SCRATCH

----------------------

To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51. make itself is not necessary, there

is an smakefile.

1. Copy config.ami to config.h

2. If you use make to compile, copy Makefile.ami to Makefile and

    glob/Makefile.ami to glob/Makefile. Copy make into the current

    directory.

3. Run smake/make

INSTALLATION

Copy make somewhere in your search path (e.g., sc:c or sc:bin).

If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:

    Resident make Add
