NAME

pmake - maintain program dependencies

SYNOPSIS

[-BeikNnqrstWX] [-D variable] [-d flags] [-f makefile] [-I directory] [-J private] [-j max_jobs] [-m directory] [-T file] [-V variable] [variable=value] [target ...]

DESCRIPTION

is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other programs. Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which programs and other files depend. If the file exists, it is read for this list of specifications. If it does not exist, the file is read. If the file exists, it is read (see mkdep(1) ) .

This manual page is intended as a reference document only. For a more thorough description of and makefiles, please refer to

The options are as follows:

-B
Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single shell per command and by executing the commands to make the sources of a dependency line in sequence.
-D variable
Define variable to be 1, in the global context.
-d flags
Turn on debugging, and specify which portions of are to print debugging information. Flags is one or more of the following:
A
Print all possible debugging information; equivalent to specifying all of the debugging flags.
a
Print debugging information about archive searching and caching.
c
Print debugging information about conditional evaluation.
d
Print debugging information about directory searching and caching.
e
Print debugging information about failed commands and targets.
f
Print debugging information about loop evaluation.
g1
Print the input graph before making anything.
g2
Print the input graph after making everything, or before exiting on error.
g3
Print the input graph before exiting on error.
j
Print debugging information about running multiple shells.
m
Print debugging information about making targets, including modification dates.
n
Don't delete the temporary command scripts created in /tmp when running commands. These are created via mkstemp() and have names of the form /tmp/makeXXXXX . This can create many file in /tmp so use with care.
s
Print debugging information about suffix-transformation rules.
t
Print debugging information about target list maintenance.
v
Print debugging information about variable assignment.
x
Run shell commands with -x so the actual commands are printed as they are executed.
-e
Specify that environment variables override macro assignments within makefiles.
-f makefile
Specify a makefile to read instead of the default If makefile is standard input is read. Multiple makefiles may be specified, and are read in the order specified.
-I directory
Specify a directory in which to search for makefiles and included makefiles. The system makefile directory (or directories, see the -m option) is automatically included as part of this list.
-i
Ignore non-zero exit of shell commands in the makefile. Equivalent to specifying before each command line in the makefile.
-J private
This option should be specified by the user. When the j option is in use in a recursive build, this option is passed by a make to child makes to allow all the make processes in the build to cooperate to avoid overloading the system.
-j max_jobs
Specify the maximum number of jobs that may have running at any one time. Turns compatibility mode off, unless the B flag is also specified.
-k
Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on those targets that do not depend on the target whose creation caused the error.
-m directory
Specify a directory in which to search for sys.mk and makefiles included via the include statement. The -m option can be used multiple times to form a search path. This path will override the default system include path: /usr/share/mk. Furthermore the system include path will be appended to the search path used for include statements (see the -I option). If a file or directory name in the -m argument (or the MAKESYSPATH environment variable) starts with the string then will search for the specified file or directory named in the remaining part of the argument string. The search starts with the current directory of the Makefile and then works upward towards the root of the filesystem. If the search is successful, then the resulting directory replaces the specification in the -m argument. If used, this feature allows to easily search in the current source tree for customized sys.mk files (e.g., by using as an argument).
-n
Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not actually execute them unless the target depends on the .MAKE special source (see below).
-N
Display the commands which would have been executed, but do not actually execute any of them; useful for debugging top-level makefiles without descending into subdirectories.
-q
Do not execute any commands, but exit 0 if the specified targets are up-to-date and 1, otherwise.
-r
Do not use the built-in rules specified in the system makefile.
-s
Do not echo any commands as they are executed. Equivalent to specifying before each command line in the makefile.
-T tracefile
When used with the -j flag, append a trace record to tracefile for each job started and completed.
-t
Rather than re-building a target as specified in the makefile, create it or update its modification time to make it appear up-to-date.
-V variable
Print Ns 's idea of the value of variable , in the global context. Do not build any targets. Multiple instances of this option may be specified; the variables will be printed one per line, with a blank line for each null or undefined variable. If variable contains a then the value will be expanded before printing.
-W
Treat any warnings during makefile parsing as errors.
-X
Don't export variables passed on the command line to the environment individually. Variables passed on the command line are still exported via the MAKEFLAGS environment variable. This option may be useful on systems which have a small limit on the size of command arguments.
variable=value
Set the value of the variable variable to value . Normally, all values passed on the command line are also exported to sub-makes in the environment. The -X flag disables this behavior. Variable assignments should follow options for POSIX compatibility but no ordering is enforced.

There are seven different types of lines in a makefile: file dependency specifications, shell commands, variable assignments, include statements, conditional directives, for loops, and comments.

In general, lines may be continued from one line to the next by ending them with a backslash The trailing newline character and initial whitespace on the following line are compressed into a single space.

FILE DEPENDENCY SPECIFICATIONS

Dependency lines consist of one or more targets, an operator, and zero or more sources. This creates a relationship where the targets ``depend'' on the sources and are usually created from them. The exact relationship between the target and the source is determined by the operator that separates them. The three operators are as follows:

:
A target is considered out-of-date if its modification time is less than those of any of its sources. Sources for a target accumulate over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target is removed if is interrupted.
!
Targets are always re-created, but not until all sources have been examined and re-created as necessary. Sources for a target accumulate over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target is removed if is interrupted.
::
If no sources are specified, the target is always re-created. Otherwise, a target is considered out-of-date if any of its sources has been modified more recently than the target. Sources for a target do not accumulate over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target will not be removed if is interrupted.

Targets and sources may contain the shell wildcard values and The values and may only be used as part of the final component of the target or source, and must be used to describe existing files. The value need not necessarily be used to describe existing files. Expansion is in directory order, not alphabetically as done in the shell.

SHELL COMMANDS

Each target may have associated with it a series of shell commands, normally used to create the target. Each of the commands in this script be preceded by a tab. While any target may appear on a dependency line, only one of these dependencies may be followed by a creation script, unless the operator is used.

If the first characters of the command line are any combination of or the command is treated specially. A causes the command not to be echoed before it is executed. A causes the command to be executed even when -n is given. This is similar to the effect of the .MAKE special source, except that the effect can be limited to a single line of a script. A causes any non-zero exit status of the command line to be ignored.

VARIABLE ASSIGNMENTS

Variables in make are much like variables in the shell, and, by tradition, consist of all upper-case letters.

Variable assignment modifiers

The five operators that can be used to assign values to variables are as follows:

=
Assign the value to the variable. Any previous value is overridden.
+=
Append the value to the current value of the variable.
?=
Assign the value to the variable if it is not already defined.
:=
Assign with expansion, i.e. expand the value before assigning it to the variable. Normally, expansion is not done until the variable is referenced.
!=
Expand the value and pass it to the shell for execution and assign the result to the variable. Any newlines in the result are replaced with spaces.

Any white-space before the assigned value is removed; if the value is being appended, a single space is inserted between the previous contents of the variable and the appended value.

Variables are expanded by surrounding the variable name with either curly braces or parentheses and preceding it with a dollar sign If the variable name contains only a single letter, the surrounding braces or parentheses are not required. This shorter form is not recommended.

Variable substitution occurs at two distinct times, depending on where the variable is being used. Variables in dependency lines are expanded as the line is read. Variables in shell commands are expanded when the shell command is executed.

Variable classes

The four different classes of variables (in order of increasing precedence) are:

Environment variables
Variables defined as part of Ns 's environment.
Global variables
Variables defined in the makefile or in included makefiles.
Command line variables
Variables defined as part of the command line.
Local variables
Variables that are defined specific to a certain target. The seven local variables are as follows:
.ALLSRC
The list of all sources for this target; also known as
.ARCHIVE
The name of the archive file.
.IMPSRC
The name/path of the source from which the target is to be transformed (the ``implied'' source); also known as
.MEMBER
The name of the archive member.
.OODATE
The list of sources for this target that were deemed out-of-date; also known as
.PREFIX
The file prefix of the file, containing only the file portion, no suffix or preceding directory components; also known as
.TARGET
The name of the target; also known as
The shorter forms and are permitted for backward compatibility with historical makefiles and are not recommended. The six variables and are permitted for compatibility with makefiles and are not recommended. Four of the local variables may be used in sources on dependency lines because they expand to the proper value for each target on the line. These variables are and

Additional inbuilt variables

In addition, sets or knows about the following variables:

$
A single dollar sign i.e. expands to a single dollar sign.
.ALLTARGETS
The list of all targets encountered in the Makefile. If evaluated during Makefile parsing, lists only those targets encountered thus far.
.CURDIR
A path to the directory where was executed. Refer to the description of for more details.
MAKE
The name that was executed with For compatibily also sets .MAKE with the same value. The preferred variable to use is the environment variable MAKE because it is more compatible with other versions of and cannot be confused with the special target with the same name.
MAKEFLAGS
The environment variable may contain anything that may be specified on Ns 's command line. Anything specified on Ns 's command line is appended to the variable which is then entered into the environment for all programs which executes.
.MAKEOVERRIDES
This variable is used to record the names of variables assigned to on the command line, so that they may be exported as part of This behaviour can be disabled by assigning an empty value to within a makefile. Extra variables can be exported from a makefile by appending their names to is re-exported whenever is modified.
MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR
When stops due to an error, it prints its name and the value of as well as the value of any variables named in
.newline
This variable is simply assigned a newline character as its value. This allows expansions using the :@ modifier to put a newline between iterations of the loop rather than a space. For example, the printing of could be done as ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@}.
.OBJDIR
A path to the directory where the targets are built. Its value is determined by trying to chdir() to the following directories in order and using the first match:
•
${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR} (Only if is set in the environment or on the command line.)
•
${MAKEOBJDIR} (Only if is set in the environment or on the command line.)
•
${.CURDIR} Ns /obj. Ns ${MACHINE}
•
${.CURDIR} Ns /obj
•
/usr/obj/ Ns ${.CURDIR}
•
${.CURDIR}
Variable expansion is performed on the value before it's used, so expressions such as may be used. may be modified in the makefile as a global variable. In all cases, will chdir() to and set to that directory before executing any targets.
.PARSEDIR
A path to the directory of the current being parsed.
.PARSEFILE
The basename of the current being parsed. This variable and are both set only while the are being parsed.
.PATH
A variable that represents the list of directories that will search for files. The search list should be updated using the target rather than the variable.
PWD
Alternate path to the current directory. normally sets to the canonical path given by getcwd(3) . However, if the environment variable is set and gives a path to the current directory, then sets to the value of instead. This behaviour is disabled if is set or contains a variable transform. is set to the value of for all programs which executes.

Variable modifiers

Variable expansion may be modified to select or modify each word of the variable (where a ``word'' is white-space delimited sequence of characters). The general format of a variable expansion is as follows:

Each modifier begins with a colon, which may be escaped with a backslash The supported modifiers are:

:E
Replaces each word in the variable with its suffix.
:H
Replaces each word in the variable with everything but the last component.
:M Ns pattern
Select only those words that match pattern . The standard shell wildcard characters and may be used. The wildcard characters may be escaped with a backslash
:N Ns pattern
This is identical to but selects all words which do not match pattern .
:O
Order every word in variable alphabetically. To sort words in reverse order use the combination of modifiers.
:Ox
Randomize words in variable. The results will be different each time you are referring to the modified variable; use the assignment with expansion to prevent such behaviour. For example, LIST= uno due tre quattro RANDOM_LIST= ${LIST:Ox} STATIC_RANDOM_LIST:= ${LIST:Ox}

all: @echo "${RANDOM_LIST}" @echo "${RANDOM_LIST}" @echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}" @echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}" may produce output similar to: quattro due tre uno tre due quattro uno due uno quattro tre due uno quattro tre :Q Quotes every shell meta-character in the variable, so that it can be passed safely through recursive invocations of . :R Replaces each word in the variable with everything but its suffix. :tl Converts variable to lower-case letters. :ts Ns c Words in the variable are normally separated by a space on expansion. This modifier sets the separator to the character c . If c is omitted, then no separator is used. :tu Converts variable to upper-case letters. :tW Causes the value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). See also :tw Causes the value to be treated as a sequence of words delimited by white space. See also :S No / old_string Xo Modify the first occurrence of old_string in the variable's value, replacing it with new_string . If a is appended to the last slash of the pattern, all occurrences in each word are replaced. If a is appended to the last slash of the pattern, only the first word is affected. If a is appended to the last slash of the pattern, then the value is treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). If old_string begins with a caret old_string is anchored at the beginning of each word. If old_string ends with a dollar sign it is anchored at the end of each word. Inside new_string , an ampersand is replaced by old_string (without any or Any character may be used as a delimiter for the parts of the modifier string. The anchoring, ampersand and delimiter characters may be escaped with a backslash Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both old_string and new_string with the single exception that a backslash is used to prevent the expansion of a dollar sign not a preceding dollar sign as is usual. :C No / pattern Xo The :C modifier is just like the :S modifier except that the old and new strings, instead of being simple strings, are a regular expression (see regex(3) ) string pattern and an ed(1) Ns -style string replacement . Normally, the first occurrence of the pattern pattern in each word of the value is substituted with replacement . The modifier causes the substitution to apply to at most one word; the modifier causes the substitution to apply to as many instances of the search pattern pattern as occur in the word or words it is found in; the modifier causes the value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). Note that and are orthogonal; the former specifies whether multiple words are potentially affected, the latter whether multiple substitutions can potentially occur within each affected word. :T Replaces each word in the variable with its last component. :u Remove adjacent duplicate words (like uniq(1) ) . :? true_string : false_string If the variable (actually an expression; see below) evaluates to true, return as its value the true_string , otherwise return the false_string . :old_string=new_string This is the style variable substitution. It must be the last modifier specified. If old_string or new_string do not contain the pattern matching character % then it is assumed that they are anchored at the end of each word, so only suffixes or entire words may be replaced. Otherwise % is the substring of old_string to be replaced in new_string . Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both old_string and new_string with the single exception that a backslash is used to prevent the expansion of a dollar sign not a preceding dollar sign as is usual. :@ temp @ Xo string @ This is the loop expansion mechanism from the OSF Development Environment (ODE) make. Unlike .for loops expansion occurs at the time of reference. Assign temp to each word in the variable and evaluate string . The ODE convention is that temp should start and end with a period. For example. :U Ns newval If the variable is undefined newval is the value. If the variable is defined, the existing value is returned. This is another ODE make feature. It is handy for setting per-target CFLAGS for instance: If a value is only required if the variable is undefined, use: :D Ns newval If the variable is defined newval is the value. :L The name of the variable is the value. :P The path of the node which has the same name as the variable is the value. If no such node exists or its path is null, then the name of the variable is used. :! cmd ! The output of running cmd is the value. :sh If the variable is non-empty it is run as a command and the output becomes the new value. ::= Ns str The variable is assigned the value str after substitution. This modifier and its variations are useful in obscure situations such as wanting to apply modifiers to .for loop iteration variables which won't work due to the way .for loops are implemented. These assignment modifiers always expand to nothing, so if appearing in a rule line by themselves should be preceded with something to keep happy. As in: use_foo: .USE .for i in ${.TARGET} ${.TARGET:R}.gz @: ${t::=$i} @echo t:R:T=${t:R:T} .endfor

The helps avoid false matches with the style := modifier and since substitution always occurs the ::= form is vaguely appropriate. ::?= Ns str As for ::= but only if the variable does not already have a value. ::+= Ns str Append str to the variable. ::!= Ns cmd Assign the output of cmd to the variable. :[ Ns range Ns ] Selects one or more words from the value, or performs other operations related to the way in which the value is divided into words. Ordinarily, a value is treated as a sequence of words delimited by white space. Some modifiers suppress this behaviour, causing a value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). An empty value, or a value that consists entirely of white-space, is treated as a single word. For the purposes of the modifier, the words are indexed both forwards using positive integers (where index 1 represents the first word), and backwards using negative integers (where index -1 represents the last word). The range is subjected to variable expansion, and the expanded result is then interpreted as follows:

index
Selects a single word from the value.
start Ns .. Ns end
Selects all words from start to end , inclusive. For example, selects all words from the second word to the last word. If start is greater than end , then the words are output in reverse order. For example, selects all the words from last to first.
*
Causes subsequent modifiers to treat the value as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). Analogous to the effect of "$*" in Bourne shell.
0
Means the same as
@
Causes subsequent modifiers to treat the value as a sequence of words delimited by white space. Analogous to the effect of "$@" in Bourne shell.
#
Returns the number of words in the value.

INCLUDE STATEMENTS, CONDITIONALS AND FOR LOOPS

Makefile inclusion, conditional structures and for loops reminiscent of the C programming language are provided in . All such structures are identified by a line beginning with a single dot character. Files are included with either .include Aq file or .include Pf q file Ns q . Variables between the angle brackets or double quotes are expanded to form the file name. If angle brackets are used, the included makefile is expected to be in the system makefile directory. If double quotes are used, the including makefile's directory and any directories specified using the -I option are searched before the system makefile directory. For compatibility with other versions of is also accepted. If the include statement is written as .-include or as .sinclude then errors locating and/or opening include files are ignored.

Conditional expressions are also preceded by a single dot as the first character of a line. The possible conditionals are as follows:

.undef variable
Un-define the specified global variable. Only global variables may be un-defined.
Xo
.if [operator expression ...] Test the value of an expression.
Xo
.ifdef [operator variable ...] Test the value of a variable.
Xo
.ifndef [operator variable ...] Test the value of a variable.
Xo
.ifmake [operator target ...] Test the target being built.
Xo
.ifnmake [operator target ...] Test the target being built.
.else
Reverse the sense of the last conditional.
Xo
.elif [operator expression ...] A combination of followed by
Xo
.elifdef [operator variable ...] A combination of followed by
Xo
.elifndef [operator variable ...] A combination of followed by
Xo
.elifmake [operator target ...] A combination of followed by
Xo
.elifnmake [operator target ...] A combination of followed by
.endif
End the body of the conditional.

The operator may be any one of the following:

||
Logical OR.
[Am][Am]
Logical AND ; of higher precedence than

As in C, will only evaluate a conditional as far as is necessary to determine its value. Parentheses may be used to change the order of evaluation. The boolean operator may be used to logically negate an entire conditional. It is of higher precedence than

The value of expression may be any of the following:

defined
Takes a variable name as an argument and evaluates to true if the variable has been defined.
pmake
Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target was specified as part of Ns 's command line or was declared the default target (either implicitly or explicitly, see .MAIN ) before the line containing the conditional.
empty
Takes a variable, with possible modifiers, and evaluates to true if the expansion of the variable would result in an empty string.
exists
Takes a file name as an argument and evaluates to true if the file exists. The file is searched for on the system search path (see .PATH ) .
target
Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target has been defined.
commands
Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target has been defined and has commands associated with it.

Expression may also be an arithmetic or string comparison. Variable expansion is performed on both sides of the comparison, after which the integral values are compared. A value is interpreted as hexadecimal if it is preceded by 0x, otherwise it is decimal; octal numbers are not supported. The standard C relational operators are all supported. If after variable expansion, either the left or right hand side of a or operator is not an integral value, then string comparison is performed between the expanded variables. If no relational operator is given, it is assumed that the expanded variable is being compared against 0 or an empty string in the case of a string comparison.

When is evaluating one of these conditional expression, and it encounters a word it doesn't recognize, either the ``make'' or ``defined'' expression is applied to it, depending on the form of the conditional. If the form is or the ``defined'' expression is applied. Similarly, if the form is or expression is applied.

If the conditional evaluates to true the parsing of the makefile continues as before. If it evaluates to false, the following lines are skipped. In both cases this continues until a or is found.

For loops are typically used to apply a set of rules to a list of files. The syntax of a for loop is:

Xo
.for variable [variable ...] in expression
Aq make-rules
.endfor

After the for expression is evaluated, it is split into words. On each iteration of the loop, one word is taken and assigned to each variable , in order, and these variables are substituted into the make-rules inside the body of the for loop. The number of words must come out even; that is, if there are three iteration variables, the number of words provided must be a multiple of three.

COMMENTS

Comments begin with a hash character, anywhere but in a shell command line, and continue to the end of an unescaped new line.

SPECIAL SOURCES (ATTRIBUTES)

.EXEC
Target is never out of date, but always execute commands anyway.
.IGNORE
Ignore any errors from the commands associated with this target, exactly as if they all were preceded by a dash
.MADE
Mark all sources of this target as being up-to-date.
.MAKE
Execute the commands associated with this target even if the -n or -t options were specified. Normally used to mark recursive Ns 's .
.NOPATH
Do not search for the target in the directories specified by .PATH .
.NOTMAIN
Normally selects the first target it encounters as the default target to be built if no target was specified. This source prevents this target from being selected.
.OPTIONAL
If a target is marked with this attribute and can't figure out how to create it, it will ignore this fact and assume the file isn't needed or already exists.
.PHONY
The target does not correspond to an actual file; it is always considered to be out of date, and will not be created with the -t option.
.PRECIOUS
When is interrupted, it removes any partially made targets. This source prevents the target from being removed.
.RECURSIVE
Synonym for .MAKE .
.SILENT
Do not echo any of the commands associated with this target, exactly as if they all were preceded by an at sign
.USE
Turn the target into Ns 's version of a macro. When the target is used as a source for another target, the other target acquires the commands, sources, and attributes (except for .USE ) of the source. If the target already has commands, the .USE target's commands are appended to them.
.USEBEFORE
Exactly like .USE , but prepend the .USEBEFORE target commands to the target.
.WAIT
If .WAIT appears in a dependency line, the sources that precede it are made before the sources that succeed it in the line. Loops are not detected and targets that form loops will be silently ignored.

SPECIAL TARGETS

Special targets may not be included with other targets, i.e. they must be the only target specified.

.BEGIN
Any command lines attached to this target are executed before anything else is done.
.DEFAULT
This is sort of a .USE rule for any target (that was used only as a source) that can't figure out any other way to create. Only the shell script is used. The .IMPSRC variable of a target that inherits .DEFAULT Ns 's commands is set to the target's own name.
.END
Any command lines attached to this target are executed after everything else is done.
.IGNORE
Mark each of the sources with the .IGNORE attribute. If no sources are specified, this is the equivalent of specifying the -i option.
.INTERRUPT
If is interrupted, the commands for this target will be executed.
.MAIN
If no target is specified when is invoked, this target will be built.
.MAKEFLAGS
This target provides a way to specify flags for when the makefile is used. The flags are as if typed to the shell, though the -f option will have no effect.
.NOPATH
Apply the .NOPATH attribute to any specified sources.
.NOTPARALLEL
Disable parallel mode.
.NO_PARALLEL
Synonym for .NOTPARALLEL , for compatibility with other pmake variants.
.ORDER
The named targets are made in sequence.
.PATH
The sources are directories which are to be searched for files not found in the current directory. If no sources are specified, any previously specified directories are deleted. If the source is the special .DOTLAST target, then the current working directory is searched last.
.PHONY
Apply the .PHONY attribute to any specified sources.
.PRECIOUS
Apply the .PRECIOUS attribute to any specified sources. If no sources are specified, the .PRECIOUS attribute is applied to every target in the file.
.SHELL
Sets the shell that will use to execute commands. The sources are a set of field=value pairs.
name
This is the minimal specification, used to select one of the builtin shell specs; sh , ksh , and csh .
path
Specifies the path to the shell.
hasErrCtl
Indicates whether the shell supports exit on error.
check
The command to turn on error checking.
ignore
The command to disable error checking.
echo
The command to turn on echoing of commands executed.
quiet
The command to turn off echoing of commands executed.
filter
The output to filter after issuing the quiet command. It is typically identical to quiet .
errFlag
The flag to pass the shell to enable error checking.
echoFlag
The flag to pass the shell to enable command echoing.
Example: .SHELL: name=ksh path=/bin/ksh hasErrCtl=true \ check="set -e" ignore="set +e" \ echo="set -v" quiet="set +v" filter="set +v" \ echoFlag=v errFlag=e
.SILENT
Apply the .SILENT attribute to any specified sources. If no sources are specified, the .SILENT attribute is applied to every command in the file.
.SUFFIXES
Each source specifies a suffix to . If no sources are specified, any previously specified suffixes are deleted.

ENVIRONMENT

uses the following environment variables, if they exist: MACHINE , MACHINE_ARCH , MAKE , MAKEFLAGS , MAKEOBJDIR , MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX , MAKESYSPATH , and PWD .

MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX and MAKEOBJDIR may only be set in the environment or on the command line to and not as makefile variables; see the description of for more details.

HISTORY

A make command appeared in
