mkdep

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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 may be run from a single Makefile.
  • file Write the include file dependencies to instead of the default ``.depend''.
  • p Cause to produce dependencies of the form:
program: program.c
so that subsequent makes will produce directly from its C module rather than using an intermediate
module. This is useful for programs whose source is contained in a single module.
