Thank you ghostdog74 for your response.

Not sure if I can post the contents of the entire makefile here:

The section that needs manual editing(with line numbers enabled) looks like this:

66 # INCLUDE macro for SCI
67 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
68 CDIPOSIX_MAIN_INCLUDE = \
69 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix/Posix_Main \
70 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix/Posix_Main/inc \
71 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIInitialisation/Initialization \
72 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix \
73 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix/PCK_CDIPosix \
74 -I/gplus3/source/range/os20/include


The same section after manual editing looks like this:

66 # INCLUDE macro for SCI
67 #~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
68 CDIPOSIX_MAIN_INCLUDE = \
69 -I/gplus3/source/range/os20/include \
70 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix/Posix_Main \
71 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix/Posix_Main/inc \
72 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIInitialisation/Initialization \
73 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix \
74 -I/dev/adapt_layer/s9cdi/CDIPosix/PCK_CDIPosix

FYI, this section appears in between the same line numbers always. Does this information help?

Thanks

NAME

       mkdevmaps - make device_maps entries

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/sbin/mkdevmaps

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkdevmaps  command  writes  to standard out a set of device_maps(4) entries describing the system's frame buffer, audio, and removable
       media devices.

       The mkdevmaps command is used by the init.d(4) scripts to create or update the /etc/security/device_maps file.

       Entries are generated based on the device special files found in /dev. For the different  categories  of  devices,  the  mkdevmaps  command
       checks for the following files under /dev:

       audio           /dev/audio, /dev/audioctl, /dev/sound/...
       tape            /dev/rst*, /dev/nrst*, /dev/rmt/...
       floppy          /dev/diskette, /dev/fd*, /dev/rdiskette, /dev/rfd*
       removable disk  /dev/dsk/c0t?d0s?, /dev/rdsk/c0t?d0s?
       frame buffer    /dev/fb
