ml-makedepend(1)					      General Commands Manual						  ml-makedepend(1)

NAME
ml-makedepend - list files a ML program depends upon SYNOPSIS
ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -n ] [ -f makefile ] project.cm target ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -a arch ] [ -o os ] [ -f makefile ] project.cm target DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ml-makedepend command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi- nal program does not have a manual page. The ml-makedepend script is part of the SML/NJ CM (Compilation and Library Manager) that is used to generate a list of files that a ML program depends on for use by make. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -n ml-makedepend usually uses the make variables $(ARCH) and $(OPSYS) in the filenames for the Makefile. This option disables this feature. -a arch Use arch in place of $(ARCH). -o os Use os in place of $(OPSYS). -f makefile Name of the makefile to be used rather than the default Makefile. -Dname=value Set CM variable to given value. -Dname Set CM variable to 1. -Uname Unset CM variable. SEE ALSO
sml(1), ml-lex(1), ml-build(1), ml-yacc(1). The programs are documented fully by CM: The SML/NJ Compilation and Library Manager, User Manual, Matthias Blume, which is available via <http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/CM/new.pdf>. AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Aaron Matthew Read <amread@nyx.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). October 25, 2002 ml-makedepend(1)
