tmake

TMAKE(1)						      General Commands Manual							  TMAKE(1)

NAME

       tmake - create and maintain makefiles for software projects

SYNOPSIS

       tmake [ options ] project files or project settings

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly the tmake command.  This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the orig-
       inal program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

       tmake is an easy-to-use tool from Troll Tech to create and maintain makefiles for software projects. It can be a  painful  task	to  manage
       makefiles  manually,  especially  if  you develop for more than one platform or use more than one compiler. tmake automates and streamlines
       this process and lets you spend your valuable time on writing code, not makefiles.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Show summary of options.

       -e expr
	      Evaluate the Perl expression.  Ignores the template file.

       -nodepend
	      Don't generate dependency information.

       -o file
	      Write output to file instead of stdout.

       -t file
	      Specify a template file.

       -unix  Force tmake into Unix mode.

       -v     Verbose/debugging on.

       -win32 Force tmake into Win32 mode.

       The -t option overrides any TEMPLATE variable in the project file.

       The default project file extension is ".pro". The default template file extension is ".t". If you do not specify these extension tmake will
       automatically add them for you.

SEE ALSO

       The full documentation for tmake is maintained as an HTML manual, located in /usr/share/doc/tmake/html/, and is available through dhelp(1),
       Debian's help system.
