NAME

     mkdep -- construct Makefile dependency list

SYNOPSIS

     mkdep [-aDdopq] [-f file] [-s suffixes] -- [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
     which are written into the file ``.depend''.  An example of its use in a Makefile might be:

	   CFLAGS= -O -I../include
	   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 options are as follows:

     -a      Append to the output file, so that multiple mkdep's may be run from a single Makefile.

     -D      Post process (as -d) but read the list of filenames from stdin.

     -d      Post process and merge previously created (for example by ``cc -MD x.c'') depend files into a single file.

     -f      Write the include file dependencies to file, instead of the default ``.depend''.

     -o      Add an additional .OPTIONAL line for each dependent file.

     -p      Cause mkdep to produce 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
	     for programs whose source is contained in a single module.  -p is equivalent to specifying a null suffix with -s.

     -q      Do not print a warning for inaccessible files when -d is given.

     -s      Expand each target filename to a list, replacing the '.o' suffix with each element of suffixes.  The list of suffixes may be space or
	     comma separated.

FILES

     .depend  File containing list of dependencies.

HISTORY

     The mkdep command appeared in 4.3BSD-Tahoe.

BUGS

     Some characters special to make(1), most notably the comment character, are not escaped correctly if they appear in file names.  This can
     lead to unparseable output or silently cause dependencies to be lost.

NAME

       mkdep - generate dependency list from a C program

SYNOPSIS

       mkdep [-a] [-f depend_file] [-p] [cc_options] file...

       The mkdep command generates a dependency list file from a C source program.

OPTIONS

       Causes mkdep to append its output to the end of the dependency file instead of creating a new dependency file.  If the dependency file does
       not exist, mkdep creates it.  Specifies a name for the dependency file; overrides the default file name Inhibits mkdep from  appending  the
       suffix to the names of object files listed in the output.

DESCRIPTION

       The  mkdep  command uses cc(1) to compile a list of dependency files required to build the named C program file or files.  The list is for-
       matted so that it is suitable for inclusion into a makefile for make(1).  Duplicate dependency listings for a given  program  are  included
       only once in the output.

       You can specify C compiler options by including them in the command line; mkdep passes all unrecognized options through to the compiler.

       By default, mkdep writes to a file named -f option to specify an alternative output file name.

EXAMPLES

       The following example illustrates the use of mkdep with the -p option:

       % cat hello.c #include <stdio.h>

       main() {

	       printf("%s0","Hello  World!");  }  %  mkdep  -p	-f  hello.depend  hello.c  % cat hello.depend hello:  hello.c /usr/include/stdio.h
       /usr/include/standards.h   hello:    /usr/include/sys/types.h   /usr/include/standards.h    hello:     /usr/include/mach/machine/vm_types.h
       /usr/include/sys/limits.h   hello:    /usr/include/standards.h	/usr/include/machine/machlimits.h   hello:    /usr/include/sys/syslimits.h
       /usr/include/float.h hello:  /usr/include/standards.h /usr/include/fp_class.h hello:  /usr/include/machine/machtime.h
