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". - -Micah Doyle -micah@leland.Stanford.EDU |
