Unix make now on VAX

(1 / 2)


For all those out there who are unix fans, I have just put a unix-like make
in utl$exe:umake.exe.

This is pretty much like UNIX make, with rules etc.
If you know the unix make go ahead and use it.
Otherwise I will post the documentation and send another mail message for
those who don't know UNIX make syntax but would like to learn.

The main advantage of unix make is that the makefiles are a lot shorter as
it knows how to make a .o (or .obj) from a .c so you don't have to specify
them in the makefile.

(Note for unix hackers, use $$ to get a $ in the method line).

		Any bug reports, requests to this address.

PS Any one have a machine readable form of unix make documenation??

Documentaion for Unix make

(2 / 2)


Initial documention for the unix make (UMAKE) can be found in:

charm$userdisk:[morris.vaxutils.make]make.doc

This is not exactly the same, (No library or sccs support).
However it is mainly correct, especially for the sort of thing
we are likely to use it for.

I may update the doc file sometime in the future.
A good article on how to use make appears in a couple of issues
of the C users Journal. (I have a copy if you want to copy it).
