DEFINES program-specific -D flags and other arguments to pass to the C compiler, lint, and makedepend. DEPEND_DEFINES program-specific flags in addition to $(DEFINES) to pass to lint and makedepend. This is usually used when there are special compilation rules for individual files, and the defines passed to those files affect makedepend results. If they can be passed to all files during the makedepend step without affecting the results for other files, DEPEND_DEFINES is used to do that. Example is the Xlib Imakefile. INCLUDES program-specific -I flags. HEADERS .h files to install with "make includes" and "make install". If this Imakefile includes Library.tmpl there are no headers, include this line instead of a HEADERS definition: #define LibHeaders NO REQUIREDLIBS when building a shared library, other libraries used by this library that should be referenced at link time. LINTLIBS program-specific libraries for lint. LOCAL_LDFLAGS program-specific flags for the linker. LOCAL_LIBRARIES project libraries (usually specified as -lname) needed by this program. For example, "-lXt -lXext -lX11". Used by SimpleProgramTarget and ComplexProgramTarget* rules. Do not include any system-specific libraries here. SYS_LIBRARIES system libraries (usually specified as -lname) needed by this program. For example "MathLibrary". Do not include any system-specific libraries such as "-lnsl" here; they are automatically added to the link command by the vendor-specific .cf file. SUBDIRS for an Imakefile in a directory containing subdirectories, this names the subdirectories. Such an Imakefile also needs to #define IHaveSubdirs and call MakeSubdirs() and DependSubdirs(). MANSUFFIX suffix used by InstallManPage* rules. May be set to $(LIBMANSUFFIX) or $(FILEMANSUFFIX) in directories for libraries or data files. Rule-specific variables that may be set in an individual Imakefile. If you aren't using these rules, you may need variables with a similar function, but you need not use these names. However, following these conventions may make your Imakefile easier to read and maintain. DEPLIBS library dependencies for ComplexProgramTarget SRCS source files used by ComplexProgramTarget and DependTarget. OBJS object files used by ComplexProgramTarget PROGRAMS default target used with ComplexProgramTarget_(n) SRCS1 source files used by ComplexProgramTarget_1 OBJS1 object files used by ComplexProgramTarget_1 DEPLIBS1 library dependencies for ComplexProgramTarget_1 SRCS2 source files used by ComplexProgramTarget_2 OBJS2 object files used by ComplexProgramTarget_2 DEPLIBS2 library dependencies for ComplexProgramTarget_2 SRCS3 source files used by ComplexProgramTarget_3 OBJS3 object files used by ComplexProgramTarget_3 DEPLIBS3 library dependencies for ComplexProgramTarget_3 Variables that can be set on the make command line: DESTDIR directory under which "make install" should install instead of "/"; used only for testing "make install" rules. FILE file for "lint1" target to run lint on. CDEBUGFLAGS -g and/or -O flag to control C compiler optimization. CXXDEBUGFLAGS -g and/or -O flag to control C++ optimization. LDSTRIPFLAGS flag to have linker strip objects (typically -x). Typically set to the empty string to prevent the linker from stripping objects; use this way when setting CDEBUGFLAGS to "-g". These variables are set in project-specific files such as X11.tmpl. They should NOT be set in an Imakefile. These variables are sometimes misused; they are included here to remind Imakefile writers NOT to use them: EXTRA_DEFINES project-specific -D flags EXTRA_INCLUDES project-specific -I flags EXTRA_ICONFIGFILES Additional project-specific imake config files to add to ICONFIGFILES. This is a list of files that define variables that might affect compilation of some files. Many other make variables are set up by the imake config files and can be used in an Imakefile. The easiest way to discover them is to look at the Makefile generated by an empty Imakefile. Comments Use C comment syntax in an Imakefile for comments that should not appear in the resulting Makefile. Use "XCOMM" at the start of each line to produce a comment that will appear in the Makefile. (The "XCOMM" will be translated into the Makefile comment character "#" by imake.) Do NOT use "#" as a comment character in Imakefiles; it confuses the C preprocessor used by imake on some systems. Imake variables Don't abuse the variables in X11.tmpl that describe particular pieces of X by using them to describe your own subsystems. Instead, create new variables that are defaulted using Imake.tmpl variables. Examples Since the easiest way to write an Imakefile is to start with one that works, here are some short, easy-to-read Imakefile examples in the X distribution: with subdirs: config/Imakefile library: lib/Xau/Imakefile simple program: programs/xdpyinfo/Imakefile complex progs: programs/xclipboard/Imakefile complex prog: programs/xmodmap/Imakefile Common Rules Here are some of the common rules for building programs. How to use them is described in Imake.rules and in the O'Reilly book "Software Portability with imake." Basic program-building rules All of these except NormalProgramTarget also generate rules to install the program and its manual page, and to generate dependencies. SimpleProgramTarget Use if there is only one program to be made and it has only one source file. ComplexProgramTarget Use if there is only one program to be made and it has multiple source files. Set SRCS to the names of the source files, set OBJS to the names of the object files, and set DEPLIBS to the libraries that this program depends on. ComplexProgramTarget_1 Like ComplexProgramTarget, but uses SRCS1, OBJS1, and DEPLIBS1 and can be used with ComplexProgramTarget_2 and ComplexProgramTarget_3 to build up to three programs in the same directory. Set PROGRAMS to the programs built by all of these rules. For more than 3 programs, use NormalProgramTarget for each. ComplexProgramTarget_2 Use after ComplexProgramTarget_1 for the second program in a directory. Uses SRCS2, OBJS2, and DEPLIBS2. ComplexProgramTarget_3 Use after ComplexProgramTarget_2 for the third program in a directory. Uses SRCS3, OBJS3, and DEPLIBS3. NormalProgramTarget Build a program. Can be used multiple times with different arguments in the same Imakefile. Lower level rules, often used with NormalProgramTarget InstallProgram install a program. InstallManPage install a manual page. DependTarget() include once at end of Imakefile with NormalProgramTarget rules or that uses Library.tmpl. Generates dependencies for files named in SRCS. Manual page rules, commonly used only in special documentation directories: InstallManPage InstallManPageLong InstallManPageAliases Other rules: SpecialCObjectRule Compile a C file with special flags. AllTarget Declare additional targets to build. InstallAppDefaults Install X application defaults file. Imakefile for directory with subdirectories XCOMM this is a sample Imakefile for a directory containing subdirectories #define IHaveSubdirs #define PassCDebugFlags CDEBUGFLAGS="$(CDEBUGFLAGS)" SUBDIRS = list of subdirs ... MakeSubdirs($(SUBDIRS)) DependSubdirs($(SUBDIRS)) Common Targets These targets are typically NOT defined explicitly by the Imakefile writer; rather they are generated automatically by imake rules. They are listed here for the convenience of people using the resulting Makefile, not people writing the original Imakefile. all Default rule; builds whatever is in this directory. Makefile Remake the Makefile (use after changing Imakefile). Run "make depend" after. Makefiles Remake all Makefiles in subdirectories. (Does nothing if no subdirectories.) Run "make depend" after. includes Generate and install in the tree any necessary header files. depend Update dependencies in the Makefile calculated by examining the source files. install Install what "make all" built on the system. install.man Install manual pages. clean Remove built objects and other derived files. lint Run lint. tags Create a tags file.
