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. As of GNU make 4.3, the build environment has been cleaned up and alternate make files (including smakefiles) have been removed. If you have an existing version of GNU make available you _should_ be able to run: make -f Basic.mk However this is untested. If you have an Amiga system and would like to collaborate on getting bootstrapping to work properly please contact bug-make@gnu.org. 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 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1995-2020 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
