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