NAME
       mkdep - construct Makefile dependency list

SYNOPSIS
       mkdep [ -f makefile ] [ -p ] flags file ...

DESCRIPTION
       Mkdep  takes a set of flags for the C compiler and a list of C source files as arguments and constructs a set of include file dependencies.
       It attaches this dependency list to the end of the file ``Makefile''.  An example of its use in a makefile might be:

	      CFLAGS= -O -I../include -I.
	      SRCS= file1.c file2.c

	      depend:
		   mkdep ${CFLAGS} ${SRCS}

       where the macro SRCS is the list of C source files and the macro
       CFLAGS is the list of flags for the C compiler.	The -f option
       provides mkdep with a name other than ``Makefile'' to be edited.
       If the -p option is provided, mkdep produces dependencies
       of the form ``program: program.c'' so that subsequent makes will
       produce program directly from its C module rather than using an
       intermediate .o module.	This is useful in directories that
       contain many programs, each of whose source is contained in a single
       C module.
