- X
- X --kk Causes ddmmaakkee to ignore errors caused by command execu-

- XSSTTAARRTTUUPP
- X When ddmmaakkee begins execution it first processes the command
- X line and then processes an initial startup-makefile. This
- X is followed by an attempt to locate and process a user sup-
- X plied makefile. The startup file defines the default values
- X of all required control macros and the set of default rules
- X for making inferences. When searching for the startup
- X makefile, ddmmaakkee searches the following locations, in order,
- X until a startup file is located:
- X
- X 1. The location given as the value of the macro MAK-
- X ESTARTUP defined on the command line.
- X
- X 2. The location given as the value of the environment
- X variable MAKESTARTUP defined in the current
- X environment.
- X
- X 3. The location given as the value of the macro MAK-
- X ESTARTUP defined internally within ddmmaakkee.
- X
- X The above search is disabled by specifying the -r option on
- X the command line. An error is issued if a startup makefile
- X cannot be found and the -r option was not specified. A user
- X may substitute a custom startup file by defining the MAKES-
- X TARTUP environment variable or by redefining the MAKESTARTUP
- X macro on the command line. To determine where ddmmaakkee looks
- X for the default startup file, check your environment or
- X issue the command _"_d_m_a_k_e _-_V_".
- X
- X A similar search is performed to locate a default user
- X makefile when no --ff command line option is specified. The
- X special target .MAKEFILES is defined by default. This
- X target's prerequisite list specifies the names of files and
- X the order that ddmmaakkee will use to search for them when
- X attempting to locate the default makefile. A typical defin-
- X ition for this target is:
- X
- X .MAKEFILES : makefile.mk Makefile makefile
- X
- X ddmmaakkee will first look for makefile.mk and then the others.
- X If a prerequisite cannot be found ddmmaakkee will try to make it
- X before going on to the next prerequisite. For example,
- X makefile.mk can be checked out of an RCS file if the proper
- X rules for doing so are defined in the startup file.

- X target. The name may itself be a macro expansion expres-
- X sion. A LLIINNEE can be continued over several physical lines
- X by terminating it with a single backslash character. Com-
- X ments are initiated by the pound '##' character and extend to
- X the end of line. All comment text is discarded, a '#' may
- X be placed into the makefile text by escaping it with '\'
- X (ie. \# translates to # when it is parsed). A group of con-
- X tinued lines may be commented out by placing a single # at
- X the start of the first line of the group. A continued line
- X may not span more than one makefile.
- X
- X wwhhiittee ssppaaccee is defined to be any combination of <space>,
- X <tab>, and the sequence \<nl> when \<nl> is used to ter-
- X minate a LINE. When processing mmaaccrroo definition lines, any
- X amount of white space is allowed on either side of the macro
- X operator (=, *=, :=, *:=, += or +:=), and white space is
- X stripped from both before and after the macro value string.
- X The sequence \<nl> is treated as white space during recipe
- X expansion and is deleted from the final recipe string. You
- X must escape the \<nl> with a \ in order to get a \ at the
- X end of a recipe line. The \<nl> sequence is deleted from
- X macro values when they are expanded.
- X
- X When processing ttaarrggeett definition lines, the recipe for a
- X target must, in general, follow the first definition of the
- X target (See the RULES AND TARGETS section for an exception),
- X and the recipe may not span across multiple makefiles. Any
- X targets and prerequisites found on a target definition line
- X are taken to be white space separated tokens. The rule
- X operator (_o_p in SYNTAX section) is also considered to be a
- X token but does not require white space to precede or follow
- X it. Since the rule operator begins with a `:', traditional
- X versions of make do not allow the `:' character to form a
- X valid target name. ddmmaakkee allows `:' to be present in
- X target/prerequisite names as long as the entire
- X target/prerequisite name is quoted. For example:
- X
- X a:fred : test
- X
- X would be parsed as TARGET = a, PREREQUISITES are fred, :,
- X and test, which is not what was intended. To fix this you
- X must write:
- X
- X "a:fred" : test
- X
- X Which will be parsed as expected. See the EXAMPLES section
- X for how to apply this to a list of targets.

- X _._S_E_T_D_I_R_=_p_a_t_h as the attribute. _p_a_t_h is expanded
- X and the result is used as the value of the
- X directory to change to. If path is surrounded
- X by single quotes then path is not expanded, and
- X is used literally as the directory name. If the

- XMMAACCRROOSS
- X ddmmaakkee supports six types of macro assignment.
- X
- X
- X MMAACCRROO == LLIINNEE This is the most common and familiar form of
- X macro assignment. It assigns LINE literally
- X as the value of MACRO. Future expansions of
- X MACRO recursively expand it's value.
- X
- X MMAACCRROO **== LLIINNEE This form behaves exactly as the simple '='
- X form with the exception that if MACRO
- X already has a value then the assignment is
- X not performed.
- X
- X MMAACCRROO ::== LLIINNEE This form differs from the simple '=' form
- X in that it expands LINE prior to assigning
- X it as the value of MACRO. Future expansions
- X of MACRO do not recursively expand it's
- X value.
- X
- X MMAACCRROO **::== LLIINNEE This form behaves exactly as the ':=' form
- X with the exception that if MACRO already has
- X a value then the assignment and expansion
- X are not performed.
- X
- X MMAACCRROO ++== LLIINNEE This form of macro assignment allows macro
- X values to grow. It takes the literal value
- X of LINE and appends it to the previous value
- X of MACRO separating the two by a single
- X space. Future expansions of MACRO recur-
- X sively expand it's value.
- X
- X MMAACCRROO ++::== LLIINNEE This form is similar to the '+=' form except
- X that the value of LINE is expanded prior to
- X being added to the value of MACRO.
- X
- X Macro expressions specified on the command line allow the
- X macro value to be redefined within the makefile only if the
- X macro is defined using the '+=' and '+:=' operators. Other
- X operators will define a macro that cannot be further modi-
- X fied.

- X When ddmmaakkee defines a non-environment macro it strips leading
- X and trailing white space from the macro value. Macros
- X imported from the environment via either the .IMPORT special
- X target (see the SPECIAL TARGETS section), or the --ee, or --EE
- X flags are an exception to this rule. Their values are
- X always taken literally and white space is never stripped.
- X In addition, macros defined using the .IMPORT special target
- X do not have their values expanded when they are used within
- X a makefile. In contrast, environment macros that are
- X imported due to the specification of the --ee or --EE flags are
- X subject to expansion when used.
- X
- X To specify a macro expansion enclose the name in () or {}
- X and precede it with a dollar sign $. Thus $(TEST)
- X represents an expansion of the macro variable named TEST.
- X If TEST is defined then $(TEST) is replaced by its expanded
- X value. If TEST is not defined then $(TEST) expands to the
- X NULL string (this is equivalent to defining a macro as
- X 'TEST=' ). A short form may be used for single character
- X named macros. In this case the parentheses are optional,
- X and $(I) is equivalent to $I. Macro expansion is recursive,
- X hence, if the value string contains an expression represent-
- X ing a macro expansion, the expansion is performed. Circular
- X macro expansions are detected and cause an error to be
- X issued.
- X
- X When defining a macro the given macro name is first expanded
- X before being used to define the macro. Thus it is possible
- X to define macros whose names depend on values of other mac-
- X ros. For example, suppose
- X
- X CWD = $(PWD:b)
- X
- X is defined, then the value of $(CWD) is the name of the
- X current directory. This can be used to define macros
- X specific to this directory, for example:
- X
- X _$(CWD).prt = list of files to print...
- X
- X The actual name of the defined macro is a function of the
- X current directory. A construct such as this is useful when
- X processing a hierarchy of directories using .SETDIR attri-
- X buted targets and a collection of small distributed makefile
- X stubs.
- X
- X Macro variables may be defined within the makefile, on the
- X command line, or imported from the environment.

- X
- X where _m_o_d_i_f_i_e_r___l_i_s_t is chosen from the set { D or d, F or f,
- X B or b, S or s, T or t } and
- X
- X d - directory portion of all path names
- X f - file (including suffix) portion of path names
- X b - file (not including suffix) portion of path names
- X s - simple pattern substitution
- X t - tokenization.
- X
- X Thus if we have the example:
- X
- X test = d1/d2/d3/a.out f.out d1/k.out
- X
- X The following macro expansions produce the values on the
- X right of '-->' after expansion.
- X
- X $(test:d) --> d1/d2/d3/ d1/
- X $(test:b) --> a f k
- X $(test:f) --> a.out f.out k.out
- X ${test:db} --> d1/d2/d3/a f d1/k
- X ${test:s/out/in/:f} --> a.in f.in k.in
- X $(test:f:t"+") --> a.out+f.out+k.out
- X
- X If a token ends in a string composed from the value of the
- X macro DIRBRKSTR (ie. ends in a directory separator string,
- X e.g. '/' in UNIX) and you use the ::dd modifier then the
- X expansion returns the directory name less the final direc-
- X tory separator string. Thus successive pairs of :d modif-
- X iers each remove a level of directory in the token string.
- X
- X The tokenization modifier takes all white space separated
- X tokens from the macro value and separates them by the quoted
- X separator string. The separator string may contain the fol-
- X lowing escape codes \a => <bel>, \b => <backspace>, \f =>
- X <formfeed>, \n => <nl>, \r => <cr>, \t => <tab>, \v =>
- X <vertical tab>, \" => ", and \xxx => <xxx> where xxx is the
- X octal representation of a character. Thus the expansion:
- X
- X $(test:f:t"+\n")
- X produces:
- X a.out+
- X f.out+
- X k.out
- X
- X The second non-standard form of macro expansion allows for
- X recursive macros. It is possible to specify a $(_m_a_c_r_o___n_a_m_e)
- X or ${_m_a_c_r_o___n_a_m_e} expansion where _m_a_c_r_o___n_a_m_e contains more $(
- X ... ) or ${ ... } macro expansions itself.

- X
- X For example $(CC$(_HOST)$(_COMPILER)) will first expand
- X CC$(_HOST)$(_COMPILER) to get a result and use that result
- X as the name of the macro to expand. This is useful for
- X writing a makefile for more than one target environment. As
- X an example consider the following hypothetical case. Suppose
- X that _HOST and _COMPILER are imported from the environment
- X and are set to represent the host machine type and the host
- X compiler respectively.
- X
- X CFLAGS_VAX_CC = -c -O # _HOST == "_VAX", _COMPILER == "_CC"
- X CFLAGS_PC_MSC = -c -ML # _HOST == "_PC", _COMPILER == "_MSC"
- X
- X # redefine CFLAGS macro as:
- X
- X CFLAGS := $(CFLAGS$(_HOST)$(_COMPILER))
- X
- X This causes CFLAGS to take on a value that corresponds to
- X the environment in which the make is being invoked.
- X
- X The final non-standard macro expansion is of the form:
- X
- X string1{token_list}string2
- X
- X where string1, string2 and token_list are expanded. After
- X expansion, string1 is prepended to each token found in
- X token_list and string2 is appended to each resulting token
- X from the previous prepend. string1 and string2 are not del-
- X imited by white space whereas the tokens in token_list are.
- X A null token in the token list is specified using "". Thus
- X using another example we have:
- X
- X test/{f1 f2}.o --> test/f1.o test/f2.o
- X test/ {f1 f2}.o --> test/ f1.o f2.o
- X test/{f1 f2} .o --> test/f1 test/f2 .o
- X test/{ f1 "f2" "" }.o --> test/f1.o test/f2.o
- X test/.o
- X
- X and
- X
- X test/{ d1 d2 }/{ f1 f2 }.o --> test/d1/f1.o
- X test/d1/f2.o
- X test/d2/f1.o

- X A makefile contains a series of entries that specify depen-
- X dencies. Such entries are called _t_a_r_g_e_t_/_p_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e or

- X any targets defined by the rule. Whenever ddmmaakkee attempts to
- X bring a target up to date and an explicit recipe is provided
- X with a rule defining the target, that recipe is used to
- X update the target. A rule definition begins with a line
- X having the following syntax:
- X
- X _<_t_a_r_g_e_t_s_> [_<_a_t_t_r_i_b_u_t_e_s_>] _<_r_u_l_e_o_p_> [_<_p_r_e_r_e_q_u_i_s_i_t_e_s_>] [;_<_r_e_c_i_p_e_>]
- X
- X _t_a_r_g_e_t_s is a non-empty list of targets. If the target is a
- X special target (see SPECIAL TARGETS section below) then it
- X must appear alone on the rule line. For example:
- X
- X .IMPORT .ERROR : ...
- X
- X is not allowed since both .IMPORT and .ERROR are special
- X targets. Special targets are not used in the construction
- X of the dependency graph and will not be made.
- X
- X _a_t_t_r_i_b_u_t_e_s is a possibly empty list of attributes. Any
- X attribute defined in the ATTRIBUTES section above may be
- X specified. All attributes will be applied to the list of
- X named targets in the rule definition. No other targets will
- X be affected.
- X
- X
- X NOTE: As stated earlier, if both the target list and
- X prerequisite list are empty but the attributes list
- X is not, then the specified attributes affect all
- X targets in the makefile.
- X
- X
- X _r_u_l_e_o_p is a separator which is used to identify the targets
- X from the prerequisites. Optionally it also provides a
- X facility for modifying the way in which ddmmaakkee handles the
- X making of the associated targets. In its simplest form the
- X operator is a single ':', and need not be separated by white
- X space from its neighbouring tokens. It may additionally be
- X followed by any of the modifiers { !, ^, -, : }, where:
- X
- X
- X !! says execute the recipe for the associated targets once
- X for each out of date prerequisite. Ordinarily the
- X recipe is executed once for all out of date prere-
- X quisites at the same time.
- X
- X ^^ says to insert the specified prerequisites, if any,
- X before any other prerequisites already associated with
- X the specified targets. In general, it is not useful to
- X specify ^ with an empty list of prerequisites.
- X
- X -- says to clear the previous list of prerequisites before
- X adding the new prerequisites. Thus,

- X :: When the rule operator is not modified by a second ':'
- X only one set of rules may be specified for making a
- X target. Multiple definitions may be used to add to the
- X list of prerequisites that a target depends on. How-
- X ever, if a target is multiply defined only one defini-
- X tion may specify a recipe for making the target.

- X When a target's rule operator is modified by a second
- X ':' (:: for example) then this definition may not be
- X the only definition with a recipe for the target.
- X There may be other :: target definition lines that
- X specify a different set of prerequisites with a dif-
- X ferent recipe for updating the target. Any such target
- X is made if any of the definitions find it to be out of
