make_src 3.76.1

Short:        Port of GNU make with SAS/C (no ixemul)
Author:       GNU, Amiga port by Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla and Stefan Ruppert
Uploader:     Stefan Ruppert <ruppert amigaworld com>
Type:         dev/c
Version:      3.76.1
Architecture: m68k-amigaos
Distribution: NoCD

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 (ie. "make@@" is illegal).
    Also be carefull that there is a space after the "" (ie, at the
    beginning of the next line).
- Can be made resident to save space and time
- Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)

New in V3.76.1 (by Stefan Ruppert)

- added Workbench startup support
  + Now you can run GNU make from Workbench like smake
  + you can define any command line arguments in the ToolType section
  + added Ralph Babels WBPath Workbench path cloning functions
- fixed bug for default makefile include directory. Now it searches
  makefiles to include in the mkinclude: directory.
- cleaned up the source code, moved some amiga specific code into the
  amiga subdirectory.
- added OPTINLOCAL option, thus all static functions used only once 
  are inlined
- added getloadavg() function using the Executive SysInfo.library
- the provided executable is compiled for MC68000 processor
- added AmigaGuide version of the documentation
- for general bug fixes and news see NEWS file

BUGS:
- The line

    dummy.h : src/*.c

tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (ie. no wildcard-expansion takes
place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.

COMPILING FROM SCRATCH
----------------------

To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.5x. make itself is not neccessary, there
is an smakefile.

1. run the script in amiga/configure.SAS
2. run smake in the top level directory
   if you specify CFLAGS=CPU=680x0 you can generate a executeable for
   a specific CPU.

INSTALLATION

Copy make somewhere in your search path (eg. sc:c or sc:bin).
If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:
