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.
