Using make utility to create an mini-app
The following is my makefile. When I run "make", it gives me a bunch of error. I've compiled each file separately and there are no compilation errors.
The target is "monprc". Have a look below:
monprc: monprc.o monrep.o dsz.o
cc -o monprc monprc.o monrep.o dsz.o
monprc.o: monprc.c
cc -c monprc.c
alarmlib.o: alarmlib.c alarmlib.h
cc -c alarmlib.c
monrep.o: monrep.c
cc -c monrep.c
dsz.o: dsz.c
cc -c dsz.c
clean:
rm monprc.o alarmlib.o monrep.o dsz.o

Hi,
I'm trying to create a C program that functions like the make utility in UNIX for personal use. My program would read in from a generic makefile and execute whatever is in that makefile but I'm not sure as to where I should start coding.
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks. (1 Reply)

md(1) BSD General Commands Manual md(1)
NAME
md -- process raw dependency files produced by cpp -MD
SYNOPSIS
md [-d] [-f] [-m makefile] [-u makefile] [-o outputfile] [-v] [-x] [-D c|d|m|o|t|D]
DESCRIPTION
The md command basically does two things:
Process the raw dependency files produced by the cpp -MD option. There is one line in the file for every #include encountered, but there are
repeats and patterns like .../dir1/../dir2 that appear which should reduce to .../dir2. md canonicalizes and flushes repeats from the depen-
dency list. It also sorts the file names and "fills" them to a 78 character line.
md also updates the makefile directly with the dependency information, so the .d file can be thrown away (see d option). This is done to
save space. md assumes that dependency information in the makefile is sorted by .o file name and it procedes to merge in (add/or replace [as
appropriate]) the new dependency lines that it has generated. For time efficiency, md assumes that any .d files it is given that were cre-
ated before the creation date of the "makefile" were processed already. It ignores them unless the force flag [f] is given.
FLAG SUMMARY
-D c|D|d|m|o|t
Specify debugging option(s):
c show file contents
D show very low level debugging
d show new dependency crunching
m show generation of makefile
o show files being opened
t show time comparisons
-d Delete the .d file after it is processed
-f Force an update of the dependencies in the makefile, even if the makefile is more recent than the .n file. (This implies that md has
been run already.)
-m makefile
Specify the makefile to be upgraded. The defaults are makefile and then Makefile.
-o outputfile
Specify an output file (other than a makefile) for the dependencies.
-u makefile
Like -m, but the file will be created if necessary.
-v Set the verbose flag.
-x Expunge old dependency information from the makefile.

BUGS
Old, possibly not used by anyone.
