-MAC specific information for dmake. This information is provided in the
-hope that it makes it easier to install and recompile dmake in a MAC
-environment.
-
-
-1. ENVIRONMENT VARIABLE SETTINGS
-
-Only a single set of settings is available for the macintosh. There are no
-sub-selections for specific OS release and/or environment.
-
- OS - mac
- OSRELEASE - NULL
- OSENVIRONMENT - NULL
-
-
-2. IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
-
-This port for the Macintosh is specifically designed to be run
-under MPW.
-
-I had to make a couple of changes to dmake in order to get it to work
-on the Mac. First, MPW provides no documented way to run a
-subprocess, so when you use dmake, you MUST use the -n option and
-execute the output. Typically, you will probably want to write a
-simple script file to do these operations for you.
-
-I added some code so that the Macintosh version of dmake can
-use UNIX-style directories to specify include paths and target
-and dependency file names. I.e., if you specify a file "/dir/file",
-dmake will look at the file "dir:file". However, Mac dmake does not
-do any translation from files specified by UNIX-style directories
-in the recipe line that gets executed. If you need to translate,
-you can use substitution commands. (For example,
-":$(RELATIVEUNIXFILE:s,/,:,)".) This code was added so one could
-execute dmake's makefile, and also so one would have an easier time
-porting other UNIX makefiles. I would suggest you stick with
-Macintosh-style directories for all other makefiles.
-
-In order to run dmake, you must set (and export) the environmental
-variable "OS" to "mac".
