.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is a program designed to simplify the maintenance of other programs.
|
|
Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which programs
|
|
and other files depend.
|
|
If no
|
|
.Fl f Ar makefile
|
|
makefile option is given,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will try to open
|
|
.Ql Pa makefile
|
|
then
|
|
.Ql Pa Makefile
|
|
in order to find the specifications.
|
|
If the file
|
|
.Ql Pa .depend
|
|
exists, it is read (see
|
|
.Xr mkdep 1 ) .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
This manual page is intended as a reference document only.
|
|
For a more thorough description of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and makefiles, please refer to
|
|
.%T "PMake \- A Tutorial" .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will prepend the contents of the
|
|
.Va MAKEFLAGS
|
|
environment variable to the command line arguments before parsing them.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The options are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl B
|
|
Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single shell per command and
|
|
by executing the commands to make the sources of a dependency line in sequence.
|
|
.It Fl C Ar directory
|
|
Change to
|
|
.Ar directory
|
|
before reading the makefiles or doing anything else.
|
|
If multiple
|
|
.Fl C
|
|
options are specified, each is interpreted relative to the previous one:
|
|
.Fl C Pa / Fl C Pa etc
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
.Fl C Pa /etc .
|
|
.It Fl D Ar variable
|
|
Define
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
to be 1, in the global context.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar [-]flags
|
|
Turn on debugging, and specify which portions of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
are to print debugging information.
|
|
Unless the flags are preceded by
|
|
.Ql \-
|
|
they are added to the
|
|
.Va MAKEFLAGS
|
|
environment variable and will be processed by any child make processes.
|
|
By default, debugging information is printed to standard error,
|
|
but this can be changed using the
|
|
.Ar F
|
|
debugging flag.
|
|
The debugging output is always unbuffered; in addition, if debugging
|
|
is enabled but debugging output is not directed to standard output,
|
|
then the standard output is line buffered.
|
|
.Ar Flags
|
|
is one or more of the following:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ar A
|
|
Print all possible debugging information;
|
|
equivalent to specifying all of the debugging flags.
|
|
.It Ar a
|
|
Print debugging information about archive searching and caching.
|
|
.It Ar C
|
|
Print debugging information about current working directory.
|
|
.It Ar c
|
|
Print debugging information about conditional evaluation.
|
|
.It Ar d
|
|
Print debugging information about directory searching and caching.
|
|
.It Ar e
|
|
Print debugging information about failed commands and targets.
|
|
.It Ar F Ns Oo Sy \&+ Oc Ns Ar filename
|
|
Specify where debugging output is written.
|
|
This must be the last flag, because it consumes the remainder of
|
|
the argument.
|
|
If the character immediately after the
|
|
.Ql F
|
|
flag is
|
|
.Ql \&+ ,
|
|
then the file will be opened in append mode;
|
|
otherwise the file will be overwritten.
|
|
If the file name is
|
|
.Ql stdout
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql stderr
|
|
then debugging output will be written to the
|
|
standard output or standard error output file descriptors respectively
|
|
(and the
|
|
.Ql \&+
|
|
option has no effect).
|
|
Otherwise, the output will be written to the named file.
|
|
If the file name ends
|
|
.Ql .%d
|
|
then the
|
|
.Ql %d
|
|
is replaced by the pid.
|
|
.It Ar f
|
|
Print debugging information about loop evaluation.
|
|
.It Ar "g1"
|
|
Print the input graph before making anything.
|
|
.It Ar "g2"
|
|
Print the input graph after making everything, or before exiting
|
|
on error.
|
|
.It Ar "g3"
|
|
Print the input graph before exiting on error.
|
|
.It Ar j
|
|
Print debugging information about running multiple shells.
|
|
.It Ar l
|
|
Print commands in Makefiles regardless of whether or not they are prefixed by
|
|
.Ql @
|
|
or other "quiet" flags.
|
|
Also known as "loud" behavior.
|
|
.It Ar M
|
|
Print debugging information about "meta" mode decisions about targets.
|
|
.It Ar m
|
|
Print debugging information about making targets, including modification
|
|
dates.
|
|
.It Ar n
|
|
Don't delete the temporary command scripts created when running commands.
|
|
These temporary scripts are created in the directory
|
|
referred to by the
|
|
.Ev TMPDIR
|
|
environment variable, or in
|
|
.Pa /tmp
|
|
if
|
|
.Ev TMPDIR
|
|
is unset or set to the empty string.
|
|
The temporary scripts are created by
|
|
.Xr mkstemp 3 ,
|
|
and have names of the form
|
|
.Pa makeXXXXXX .
|
|
.Em NOTE :
|
|
This can create many files in
|
|
.Ev TMPDIR
|
|
or
|
|
.Pa /tmp ,
|
|
so use with care.
|
|
.It Ar p
|
|
Print debugging information about makefile parsing.
|
|
.It Ar s
|
|
Print debugging information about suffix-transformation rules.
|
|
.It Ar t
|
|
Print debugging information about target list maintenance.
|
|
.It Ar V
|
|
Force the
|
|
.Fl V
|
|
option to print raw values of variables.
|
|
.It Ar v
|
|
Print debugging information about variable assignment.
|
|
.It Ar w
|
|
Print entering and leaving directory messages, pre and post processing.
|
|
.It Ar x
|
|
Run shell commands with
|
|
.Fl x
|
|
so the actual commands are printed as they are executed.
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Specify that environment variables override macro assignments within
|
|
makefiles.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar makefile
|
|
Specify a makefile to read instead of the default
|
|
.Ql Pa makefile .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar makefile
|
|
is
|
|
.Ql Fl ,
|
|
standard input is read.
|
|
Multiple makefiles may be specified, and are read in the order specified.
|
|
.It Fl I Ar directory
|
|
Specify a directory in which to search for makefiles and included makefiles.
|
|
The system makefile directory (or directories, see the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option) is automatically included as part of this list.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Ignore non-zero exit of shell commands in the makefile.
|
|
Equivalent to specifying
|
|
.Ql Fl
|
|
before each command line in the makefile.
|
|
.It Fl J Ar private
|
|
This option should
|
|
.Em not
|
|
be specified by the user.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When the
|
|
.Ar j
|
|
option is in use in a recursive build, this option is passed by a make
|
|
to child makes to allow all the make processes in the build to
|
|
cooperate to avoid overloading the system.
|
|
.It Fl j Ar max_jobs
|
|
Specify the maximum number of jobs that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
may have running at any one time.
|
|
The value is saved in
|
|
.Va .MAKE.JOBS .
|
|
Turns compatibility mode off, unless the
|
|
.Ar B
|
|
flag is also specified.
|
|
When compatibility mode is off, all commands associated with a
|
|
target are executed in a single shell invocation as opposed to the
|
|
traditional one shell invocation per line.
|
|
This can break traditional scripts which change directories on each
|
|
command invocation and then expect to start with a fresh environment
|
|
on the next line.
|
|
It is more efficient to correct the scripts rather than turn backwards
|
|
compatibility on.
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on those targets
|
|
that do not depend on the target whose creation caused the error.
|
|
.It Fl m Ar directory
|
|
Specify a directory in which to search for sys.mk and makefiles included
|
|
via the
|
|
.Ao Ar file Ac Ns -style
|
|
include statement.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
option can be used multiple times to form a search path.
|
|
This path will override the default system include path: /usr/share/mk.
|
|
Furthermore the system include path will be appended to the search path used
|
|
for
|
|
.Qo Ar file Qc Ns -style
|
|
include statements (see the
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
option).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If a file or directory name in the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
argument (or the
|
|
.Ev MAKESYSPATH
|
|
environment variable) starts with the string
|
|
.Qq \&.../
|
|
then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will search for the specified file or directory named in the remaining part
|
|
of the argument string.
|
|
The search starts with the current directory of
|
|
the Makefile and then works upward towards the root of the filesystem.
|
|
If the search is successful, then the resulting directory replaces the
|
|
.Qq \&.../
|
|
specification in the
|
|
.Fl m
|
|
argument.
|
|
If used, this feature allows
|
|
.Nm
|
|
to easily search in the current source tree for customized sys.mk files
|
|
(e.g., by using
|
|
.Qq \&.../mk/sys.mk
|
|
as an argument).
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not
|
|
actually execute them unless the target depends on the .MAKE special
|
|
source (see below).
|
|
.It Fl N
|
|
Display the commands which would have been executed, but do not
|
|
actually execute any of them; useful for debugging top-level makefiles
|
|
without descending into subdirectories.
|
|
.It Fl q
|
|
Do not execute any commands, but exit 0 if the specified targets are
|
|
up-to-date and 1, otherwise.
|
|
.It Fl r
|
|
Do not use the built-in rules specified in the system makefile.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Do not echo any commands as they are executed.
|
|
Equivalent to specifying
|
|
.Ql Ic @
|
|
before each command line in the makefile.
|
|
.It Fl T Ar tracefile
|
|
When used with the
|
|
.Fl j
|
|
flag,
|
|
append a trace record to
|
|
.Ar tracefile
|
|
for each job started and completed.
|
|
.It Fl t
|
|
Rather than re-building a target as specified in the makefile, create it
|
|
or update its modification time to make it appear up-to-date.
|
|
.It Fl V Ar variable
|
|
Print
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
idea of the value of
|
|
.Ar variable ,
|
|
in the global context.
|
|
Do not build any targets.
|
|
Multiple instances of this option may be specified;
|
|
the variables will be printed one per line,
|
|
with a blank line for each null or undefined variable.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
contains a
|
|
.Ql \&$
|
|
then the value will be expanded before printing.
|
|
.It Fl W
|
|
Treat any warnings during makefile parsing as errors.
|
|
.It Fl X
|
|
Don't export variables passed on the command line to the environment
|
|
individually.
|
|
Variables passed on the command line are still exported
|
|
via the
|
|
.Va MAKEFLAGS
|
|
environment variable.
|
|
This option may be useful on systems which have a small limit on the
|
|
size of command arguments.
|
|
.It Ar variable=value
|
|
Set the value of the variable
|
|
.Ar variable
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar value .
|
|
Normally, all values passed on the command line are also exported to
|
|
sub-makes in the environment.
|
|
The
|
|
.Fl X
|
|
flag disables this behavior.
|
|
Variable assignments should follow options for POSIX compatibility
|
|
but no ordering is enforced.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There are seven different types of lines in a makefile: file dependency
|
|
specifications, shell commands, variable assignments, include statements,
|
|
conditional directives, for loops, and comments.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In general, lines may be continued from one line to the next by ending
|
|
them with a backslash
|
|
.Pq Ql \e .
|
|
The trailing newline character and initial whitespace on the following
|
|
line are compressed into a single space.
|
|
.Sh FILE DEPENDENCY SPECIFICATIONS
|
|
Dependency lines consist of one or more targets, an operator, and zero
|
|
or more sources.
|
|
This creates a relationship where the targets
|
|
.Dq depend
|
|
on the sources
|
|
and are usually created from them.
|
|
The exact relationship between the target and the source is determined
|
|
by the operator that separates them.
|
|
The three operators are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width flag
|
|
.It Ic \&:
|
|
A target is considered out-of-date if its modification time is less than
|
|
those of any of its sources.
|
|
Sources for a target accumulate over dependency lines when this operator
|
|
is used.
|
|
The target is removed if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is interrupted.
|
|
.It Ic \&!
|
|
Targets are always re-created, but not until all sources have been
|
|
examined and re-created as necessary.
|
|
Sources for a target accumulate over dependency lines when this operator
|
|
is used.
|
|
The target is removed if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is interrupted.
|
|
.It Ic \&::
|
|
If no sources are specified, the target is always re-created.
|
|
Otherwise, a target is considered out-of-date if any of its sources has
|
|
been modified more recently than the target.
|
|
Sources for a target do not accumulate over dependency lines when this
|
|
operator is used.
|
|
The target will not be removed if
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is interrupted.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Targets and sources may contain the shell wildcard values
|
|
.Ql \&? ,
|
|
.Ql * ,
|
|
.Ql [] ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql {} .
|
|
The values
|
|
.Ql \&? ,
|
|
.Ql * ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql []
|
|
may only be used as part of the final
|
|
component of the target or source, and must be used to describe existing
|
|
files.
|
|
The value
|
|
.Ql {}
|
|
need not necessarily be used to describe existing files.
|
|
Expansion is in directory order, not alphabetically as done in the shell.
|
|
.Sh SHELL COMMANDS
|
|
Each target may have associated with it a series of shell commands, normally
|
|
used to create the target.
|
|
Each of the commands in this script
|
|
.Em must
|
|
be preceded by a tab.
|
|
While any target may appear on a dependency line, only one of these
|
|
dependencies may be followed by a creation script, unless the
|
|
.Ql Ic \&::
|
|
operator is used.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the first characters of the command line are any combination of
|
|
.Ql Ic @ ,
|
|
.Ql Ic + ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql Ic \- ,
|
|
the command is treated specially.
|
|
A
|
|
.Ql Ic @
|
|
causes the command not to be echoed before it is executed.
|
|
A
|
|
.Ql Ic +
|
|
causes the command to be executed even when
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
is given.
|
|
This is similar to the effect of the .MAKE special source,
|
|
except that the effect can be limited to a single line of a script.
|
|
A
|
|
.Ql Ic \-
|
|
causes any non-zero exit status of the command line to be ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is run in jobs mode with
|
|
.Fl j Ar max_jobs ,
|
|
the entire script for the target is fed to a
|
|
single instance of the shell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In compatibility (non-jobs) mode, each command is run in a separate process.
|
|
If the command contains any shell meta characters
|
|
.Pq Ql #=|^(){};&<>*?[]:$`\e\en
|
|
it will be passed to the shell, otherwise
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will attempt direct execution.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Since
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will
|
|
.Xr chdir 2
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql Va .OBJDIR
|
|
before executing any targets, each child process
|
|
starts with that as its current working directory.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Makefiles should be written so that the mode of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operation does not change their behavior.
|
|
For example, any command which needs to use
|
|
.Dq cd
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq chdir ,
|
|
without side-effect should be put in parenthesis:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
avoid-chdir-side-effects:
|
|
@echo Building $@ in `pwd`
|
|
@(cd ${.CURDIR} && ${.MAKE} $@)
|
|
@echo Back in `pwd`
|
|
|
|
ensure-one-shell-regardless-of-mode:
|
|
@echo Building $@ in `pwd`; \\
|
|
(cd ${.CURDIR} && ${.MAKE} $@); \\
|
|
echo Back in `pwd`
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Sh VARIABLE ASSIGNMENTS
|
|
Variables in make are much like variables in the shell, and, by tradition,
|
|
consist of all upper-case letters.
|
|
.Ss Variable assignment modifiers
|
|
The five operators that can be used to assign values to variables are as
|
|
follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic \&=
|
|
Assign the value to the variable.
|
|
Any previous value is overridden.
|
|
.It Ic \&+=
|
|
Append the value to the current value of the variable.
|
|
.It Ic \&?=
|
|
Assign the value to the variable if it is not already defined.
|
|
.It Ic \&:=
|
|
Assign with expansion, i.e. expand the value before assigning it
|
|
to the variable.
|
|
Normally, expansion is not done until the variable is referenced.
|
|
.Em NOTE :
|
|
References to undefined variables are
|
|
.Em not
|
|
expanded.
|
|
This can cause problems when variable modifiers are used.
|
|
.It Ic \&!=
|
|
Expand the value and pass it to the shell for execution and assign
|
|
the result to the variable.
|
|
Any newlines in the result are replaced with spaces.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Any white-space before the assigned
|
|
.Ar value
|
|
is removed; if the value is being appended, a single space is inserted
|
|
between the previous contents of the variable and the appended value.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Variables are expanded by surrounding the variable name with either
|
|
curly braces
|
|
.Pq Ql {}
|
|
or parentheses
|
|
.Pq Ql ()
|
|
and preceding it with
|
|
a dollar sign
|
|
.Pq Ql \&$ .
|
|
If the variable name contains only a single letter, the surrounding
|
|
braces or parentheses are not required.
|
|
This shorter form is not recommended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the variable name contains a dollar, then the name itself is expanded first.
|
|
This allows almost arbitrary variable names, however names containing dollar,
|
|
braces, parenthesis, or whitespace are really best avoided!
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the result of expanding a variable contains a dollar sign
|
|
.Pq Ql \&$
|
|
the string is expanded again.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Variable substitution occurs at three distinct times, depending on where
|
|
the variable is being used.
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
Variables in dependency lines are expanded as the line is read.
|
|
.It
|
|
Variables in shell commands are expanded when the shell command is
|
|
executed.
|
|
.It
|
|
.Dq .for
|
|
loop index variables are expanded on each loop iteration.
|
|
Note that other variables are not expanded inside loops so
|
|
the following example code:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
.Dv .for i in 1 2 3
|
|
a+= ${i}
|
|
j= ${i}
|
|
b+= ${j}
|
|
.Dv .endfor
|
|
|
|
all:
|
|
@echo ${a}
|
|
@echo ${b}
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
will print:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
1 2 3
|
|
3 3 3
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
Because while ${a} contains
|
|
.Dq 1 2 3
|
|
after the loop is executed, ${b}
|
|
contains
|
|
.Dq ${j} ${j} ${j}
|
|
which expands to
|
|
.Dq 3 3 3
|
|
since after the loop completes ${j} contains
|
|
.Dq 3 .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Variable classes
|
|
The four different classes of variables (in order of increasing precedence)
|
|
are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Environment variables
|
|
Variables defined as part of
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
environment.
|
|
.It Global variables
|
|
Variables defined in the makefile or in included makefiles.
|
|
.It Command line variables
|
|
Variables defined as part of the command line.
|
|
.It Local variables
|
|
Variables that are defined specific to a certain target.
|
|
The seven local variables are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".ARCHIVE"
|
|
.It Va .ALLSRC
|
|
The list of all sources for this target; also known as
|
|
.Ql Va \&\*[Gt] .
|
|
.It Va .ARCHIVE
|
|
The name of the archive file.
|
|
.It Va .IMPSRC
|
|
In suffix-transformation rules, the name/path of the source from which the
|
|
target is to be transformed (the
|
|
.Dq implied
|
|
source); also known as
|
|
.Ql Va \&\*[Lt] .
|
|
It is not defined in explicit rules.
|
|
.It Va .MEMBER
|
|
The name of the archive member.
|
|
.It Va .OODATE
|
|
The list of sources for this target that were deemed out-of-date; also
|
|
known as
|
|
.Ql Va \&? .
|
|
.It Va .PREFIX
|
|
The file prefix of the target, containing only the file portion, no suffix
|
|
or preceding directory components; also known as
|
|
.Ql Va * .
|
|
.It Va .TARGET
|
|
The name of the target; also known as
|
|
.Ql Va @ .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The shorter forms
|
|
.Ql Va @ ,
|
|
.Ql Va \&? ,
|
|
.Ql Va \&\*[Lt] ,
|
|
.Ql Va \&\*[Gt] ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql Va *
|
|
are permitted for backward
|
|
compatibility with historical makefiles and are not recommended.
|
|
The six variables
|
|
.Ql Va "@F" ,
|
|
.Ql Va "@D" ,
|
|
.Ql Va "\*[Lt]F" ,
|
|
.Ql Va "\*[Lt]D" ,
|
|
.Ql Va "*F" ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql Va "*D"
|
|
are permitted for compatibility with
|
|
.At V
|
|
makefiles and are not recommended.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Four of the local variables may be used in sources on dependency lines
|
|
because they expand to the proper value for each target on the line.
|
|
These variables are
|
|
.Ql Va .TARGET ,
|
|
.Ql Va .PREFIX ,
|
|
.Ql Va .ARCHIVE ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql Va .MEMBER .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Additional built-in variables
|
|
In addition,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sets or knows about the following variables:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width .MAKEOVERRIDES
|
|
.It Va \&$
|
|
A single dollar sign
|
|
.Ql \&$ ,
|
|
i.e.
|
|
.Ql \&$$
|
|
expands to a single dollar
|
|
sign.
|
|
.It Va .ALLTARGETS
|
|
The list of all targets encountered in the Makefile.
|
|
If evaluated during
|
|
Makefile parsing, lists only those targets encountered thus far.
|
|
.It Va .CURDIR
|
|
A path to the directory where
|
|
.Nm
|
|
was executed.
|
|
Refer to the description of
|
|
.Ql Ev PWD
|
|
for more details.
|
|
.It Va .INCLUDEDFROMDIR
|
|
The directory of the file this Makefile was included from.
|
|
.It Va .INCLUDEDFROMFILE
|
|
The filename of the file this Makefile was included from.
|
|
.It Ev MAKE
|
|
The name that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
was executed with
|
|
.Pq Va argv[0] .
|
|
For compatibility
|
|
.Nm
|
|
also sets
|
|
.Va .MAKE
|
|
with the same value.
|
|
The preferred variable to use is the environment variable
|
|
.Ev MAKE
|
|
because it is more compatible with other versions of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and cannot be confused with the special target with the same name.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.ALWAYS_PASS_JOB_QUEUE
|
|
Tells
|
|
.Nm
|
|
whether to pass the descriptors of the job token queue
|
|
even if the target is not tagged with
|
|
.Ic .MAKE
|
|
The default is
|
|
.Ql Pa yes
|
|
for backwards compatability with
|
|
.Fx 9.0
|
|
and earlier.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.DEPENDFILE
|
|
Names the makefile (default
|
|
.Ql Pa .depend )
|
|
from which generated dependencies are read.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.EXPAND_VARIABLES
|
|
A boolean that controls the default behavior of the
|
|
.Fl V
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.EXPORTED
|
|
The list of variables exported by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.JOBS
|
|
The argument to the
|
|
.Fl j
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is run with
|
|
.Ar j
|
|
then output for each target is prefixed with a token
|
|
.Ql --- target ---
|
|
the first part of which can be controlled via
|
|
.Va .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX .
|
|
If
|
|
.Va .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX
|
|
is empty, no token is printed.
|
|
.br
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Li .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX=${.newline}---${.MAKE:T}[${.MAKE.PID}]
|
|
would produce tokens like
|
|
.Ql ---make[1234] target ---
|
|
making it easier to track the degree of parallelism being achieved.
|
|
.It Ev MAKEFLAGS
|
|
The environment variable
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEFLAGS
|
|
may contain anything that
|
|
may be specified on
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
command line.
|
|
Anything specified on
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
command line is appended to the
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEFLAGS
|
|
variable which is then
|
|
entered into the environment for all programs which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
executes.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.LEVEL
|
|
The recursion depth of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The initial instance of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will be 0, and an incremented value is put into the environment
|
|
to be seen by the next generation.
|
|
This allows tests like:
|
|
.Li .if ${.MAKE.LEVEL} == 0
|
|
to protect things which should only be evaluated in the initial instance of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.MAKEFILE_PREFERENCE
|
|
The ordered list of makefile names
|
|
(default
|
|
.Ql Pa makefile ,
|
|
.Ql Pa Makefile )
|
|
that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will look for.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.MAKEFILES
|
|
The list of makefiles read by
|
|
.Nm ,
|
|
which is useful for tracking dependencies.
|
|
Each makefile is recorded only once, regardless of the number of times read.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.MODE
|
|
Processed after reading all makefiles.
|
|
Can affect the mode that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
runs in.
|
|
It can contain a number of keywords:
|
|
.Bl -hang -width ignore-cmd
|
|
.It Pa compat
|
|
Like
|
|
.Fl B ,
|
|
puts
|
|
.Nm
|
|
into "compat" mode.
|
|
.It Pa meta
|
|
Puts
|
|
.Nm
|
|
into "meta" mode, where meta files are created for each target
|
|
to capture the command run, the output generated and if
|
|
.Xr filemon 4
|
|
is available, the system calls which are of interest to
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
The captured output can be very useful when diagnosing errors.
|
|
.It Pa curdirOk= Ar bf
|
|
Normally
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will not create .meta files in
|
|
.Ql Va .CURDIR .
|
|
This can be overridden by setting
|
|
.Va bf
|
|
to a value which represents True.
|
|
.It Pa env
|
|
For debugging, it can be useful to inlcude the environment
|
|
in the .meta file.
|
|
.It Pa verbose
|
|
If in "meta" mode, print a clue about the target being built.
|
|
This is useful if the build is otherwise running silently.
|
|
The message printed the value of:
|
|
.Va .MAKE.META.PREFIX .
|
|
.It Pa ignore-cmd
|
|
Some makefiles have commands which are simply not stable.
|
|
This keyword causes them to be ignored for
|
|
determining whether a target is out of date in "meta" mode.
|
|
See also
|
|
.Ic .NOMETA_CMP .
|
|
.It Pa silent= Ar bf
|
|
If
|
|
.Va bf
|
|
is True, when a .meta file is created, mark the target
|
|
.Ic .SILENT .
|
|
.El
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.META.BAILIWICK
|
|
In "meta" mode, provides a list of prefixes which
|
|
match the directories controlled by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
If a file that was generated outside of
|
|
.Va .OBJDIR
|
|
but within said bailiwick is missing,
|
|
the current target is considered out-of-date.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.META.CREATED
|
|
In "meta" mode, this variable contains a list of all the meta files
|
|
updated.
|
|
If not empty, it can be used to trigger processing of
|
|
.Va .MAKE.META.FILES .
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.META.FILES
|
|
In "meta" mode, this variable contains a list of all the meta files
|
|
used (updated or not).
|
|
This list can be used to process the meta files to extract dependency
|
|
information.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.META.IGNORE_PATHS
|
|
Provides a list of path prefixes that should be ignored;
|
|
because the contents are expected to change over time.
|
|
The default list includes:
|
|
.Ql Pa /dev /etc /proc /tmp /var/run /var/tmp
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.META.PREFIX
|
|
Defines the message printed for each meta file updated in "meta verbose" mode.
|
|
The default value is:
|
|
.Dl Building ${.TARGET:H:tA}/${.TARGET:T}
|
|
.It Va .MAKEOVERRIDES
|
|
This variable is used to record the names of variables assigned to
|
|
on the command line, so that they may be exported as part of
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEFLAGS .
|
|
This behaviour can be disabled by assigning an empty value to
|
|
.Ql Va .MAKEOVERRIDES
|
|
within a makefile.
|
|
Extra variables can be exported from a makefile
|
|
by appending their names to
|
|
.Ql Va .MAKEOVERRIDES .
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEFLAGS
|
|
is re-exported whenever
|
|
.Ql Va .MAKEOVERRIDES
|
|
is modified.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.PATH_FILEMON
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
was built with
|
|
.Xr filemon 4
|
|
support, this is set to the path of the device node.
|
|
This allows makefiles to test for this support.
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.PID
|
|
The process-id of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Va .MAKE.PPID
|
|
The parent process-id of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Va MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
stops due to an error, it prints its name and the value of
|
|
.Ql Va .CURDIR
|
|
as well as the value of any variables named in
|
|
.Ql Va MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR .
|
|
.It Va .newline
|
|
This variable is simply assigned a newline character as its value.
|
|
This allows expansions using the
|
|
.Cm \&:@
|
|
modifier to put a newline between
|
|
iterations of the loop rather than a space.
|
|
For example, the printing of
|
|
.Ql Va MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR
|
|
could be done as ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@}.
|
|
.It Va .OBJDIR
|
|
A path to the directory where the targets are built.
|
|
Its value is determined by trying to
|
|
.Xr chdir 2
|
|
to the following directories in order and using the first match:
|
|
.Bl -enum
|
|
.It
|
|
.Ev ${MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX}${.CURDIR}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(Only if
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
|
|
is set in the environment or on the command line.)
|
|
.It
|
|
.Ev ${MAKEOBJDIR}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
(Only if
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEOBJDIR
|
|
is set in the environment or on the command line.)
|
|
.It
|
|
.Ev ${.CURDIR} Ns Pa /obj. Ns Ev ${MACHINE}
|
|
.It
|
|
.Ev ${.CURDIR} Ns Pa /obj
|
|
.It
|
|
.Pa /usr/obj/ Ns Ev ${.CURDIR}
|
|
.It
|
|
.Ev ${.CURDIR}
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Variable expansion is performed on the value before it's used,
|
|
so expressions such as
|
|
.Dl ${.CURDIR:S,^/usr/src,/var/obj,}
|
|
may be used.
|
|
This is especially useful with
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEOBJDIR .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ql Va .OBJDIR
|
|
may be modified in the makefile as a global variable.
|
|
In all cases,
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will
|
|
.Xr chdir 2
|
|
to
|
|
.Ql Va .OBJDIR
|
|
and set
|
|
.Ql Ev PWD
|
|
to that directory before executing any targets.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Va .PARSEDIR
|
|
A path to the directory of the current
|
|
.Ql Pa Makefile
|
|
being parsed.
|
|
.It Va .PARSEFILE
|
|
The basename of the current
|
|
.Ql Pa Makefile
|
|
being parsed.
|
|
This variable and
|
|
.Ql Va .PARSEDIR
|
|
are both set only while the
|
|
.Ql Pa Makefiles
|
|
are being parsed.
|
|
If you want to retain their current values, assign them to a variable
|
|
using assignment with expansion:
|
|
.Pq Ql Cm \&:= .
|
|
.It Va .PATH
|
|
A variable that represents the list of directories that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will search for files.
|
|
The search list should be updated using the target
|
|
.Ql Va .PATH
|
|
rather than the variable.
|
|
.It Ev PWD
|
|
Alternate path to the current directory.
|
|
.Nm
|
|
normally sets
|
|
.Ql Va .CURDIR
|
|
to the canonical path given by
|
|
.Xr getcwd 3 .
|
|
However, if the environment variable
|
|
.Ql Ev PWD
|
|
is set and gives a path to the current directory, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
sets
|
|
.Ql Va .CURDIR
|
|
to the value of
|
|
.Ql Ev PWD
|
|
instead.
|
|
This behaviour is disabled if
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
|
|
is set or
|
|
.Ql Ev MAKEOBJDIR
|
|
contains a variable transform.
|
|
.Ql Ev PWD
|
|
is set to the value of
|
|
.Ql Va .OBJDIR
|
|
for all programs which
|
|
.Nm
|
|
executes.
|
|
.It Ev .TARGETS
|
|
The list of targets explicitly specified on the command line, if any.
|
|
.It Ev VPATH
|
|
Colon-separated
|
|
.Pq Dq \&:
|
|
lists of directories that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will search for files.
|
|
The variable is supported for compatibility with old make programs only,
|
|
use
|
|
.Ql Va .PATH
|
|
instead.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Ss Variable modifiers
|
|
Variable expansion may be modified to select or modify each word of the
|
|
variable (where a
|
|
.Dq word
|
|
is white-space delimited sequence of characters).
|
|
The general format of a variable expansion is as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl ${variable[:modifier[:...]]}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Each modifier begins with a colon,
|
|
which may be escaped with a backslash
|
|
.Pq Ql \e .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A set of modifiers can be specified via a variable, as follows:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl modifier_variable=modifier[:...]
|
|
.Dl ${variable:${modifier_variable}[:...]}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
In this case the first modifier in the modifier_variable does not
|
|
start with a colon, since that must appear in the referencing
|
|
variable.
|
|
If any of the modifiers in the modifier_variable contain a dollar sign
|
|
.Pq Ql $ ,
|
|
these must be doubled to avoid early expansion.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The supported modifiers are:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width EEE
|
|
.It Cm \&:E
|
|
Replaces each word in the variable with its suffix.
|
|
.It Cm \&:H
|
|
Replaces each word in the variable with everything but the last component.
|
|
.It Cm \&:M Ns Ar pattern
|
|
Select only those words that match
|
|
.Ar pattern .
|
|
The standard shell wildcard characters
|
|
.Pf ( Ql * ,
|
|
.Ql \&? ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql Oo Oc )
|
|
may
|
|
be used.
|
|
The wildcard characters may be escaped with a backslash
|
|
.Pq Ql \e .
|
|
As a consequence of the way values are split into words, matched,
|
|
and then joined, a construct like
|
|
.Dl ${VAR:M*}
|
|
will normalise the inter-word spacing, removing all leading and
|
|
trailing space, and converting multiple consecutive spaces
|
|
to single spaces.
|
|
.
|
|
.It Cm \&:N Ns Ar pattern
|
|
This is identical to
|
|
.Ql Cm \&:M ,
|
|
but selects all words which do not match
|
|
.Ar pattern .
|
|
.It Cm \&:O
|
|
Order every word in variable alphabetically.
|
|
To sort words in
|
|
reverse order use the
|
|
.Ql Cm \&:O:[-1..1]
|
|
combination of modifiers.
|
|
.It Cm \&:Ox
|
|
Randomize words in variable.
|
|
The results will be different each time you are referring to the
|
|
modified variable; use the assignment with expansion
|
|
.Pq Ql Cm \&:=

to prevent such behaviour.

For example,
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
LIST= uno due tre quattro
|
|
RANDOM_LIST= ${LIST:Ox}
|
|
STATIC_RANDOM_LIST:= ${LIST:Ox}
|
|
|
|
all:
|
|
@echo "${RANDOM_LIST}"
|
|
@echo "${RANDOM_LIST}"
|
|
@echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}"
|
|
@echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
may produce output similar to:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
quattro due tre uno
|
|
tre due quattro uno
|
|
due uno quattro tre
|
|
due uno quattro tre

.Ed
|
|
.It Cm \&:Q
|

Quotes every shell meta-character in the variable, so that it can be passed
|
|
safely through recursive invocations of
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.It Cm \&:R
|
|
Replaces each word in the variable with everything but its suffix.
|
|
.It Cm \&:gmtime
|
|
The value is a format string for
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 ,
|
|
using the current
|
|
.Xr gmtime 3 .
|
|
.It Cm \&:hash
|
|
Compute a 32bit hash of the value and encode it as hex digits.
|
|
.It Cm \&:localtime
|
|
The value is a format string for
|
|
.Xr strftime 3 ,
|
|
using the current
|
|
.Xr localtime 3 .
|
|
.It Cm \&:tA
|
|
Attempt to convert variable to an absolute path using
|
|
.Xr realpath 3 ,
|
|
if that fails, the value is unchanged.
|
|
.It Cm \&:tl
|
|
Converts variable to lower-case letters.
|
|
.It Cm \&:ts Ns Ar c
|
|
Words in the variable are normally separated by a space on expansion.
|
|
This modifier sets the separator to the character
|
|
.Ar c .
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar c
|
|
is omitted, then no separator is used.
|
|
The common escapes (including octal numeric codes), work as expected.
|
|
.It Cm \&:tu
|
|
Converts variable to upper-case letters.
|
|
.It Cm \&:tW
|
|
Causes the value to be treated as a single word
|
|
(possibly containing embedded white space).
|
|
See also
|

Modify the first occurrence of

.Ar old_string
|
|
in the variable's value, replacing it with
|
|
.Ar new_string .
|
|
If a
|
|
.Ql g
|

is appended to the last slash of the pattern, all occurrences
|
|
in each word are replaced.
|
|
If a

|
.Ql 1

is appended to the last slash of the pattern, only the first word
|
|
is affected.
|
|
If a
|
|
.Ql W
|

is appended to the last slash of the pattern,
|
|
then the value is treated as a single word

If
|

.Ar old_string
|
|
begins with a caret
|

.Pq Ql ^ ,
|

is anchored at the beginning of each word.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar old_string
|
|
ends with a dollar sign
|
|
.Pq Ql \&$ ,
|
|
it is anchored at the end of each word.
|
|
Inside
|
|
.Ar new_string ,
|
|
an ampersand
|
|
.Pq Ql \*[Am]

is replaced by
|
|
.Ar old_string
|
|
(without any
|
|
.Ql ^
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql \&$ ) .
|
|
Any character may be used as a delimiter for the parts of the modifier
|

The anchoring, ampersand and delimiter characters may be escaped with a

Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both

.Sm on
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm \&:C
|
|
modifier is just like the
|
|
.Cm \&:S
|
|
modifier except that the old and new strings, instead of being
|
|
simple strings, are an extended regular expression (see
|
|
.Xr regex 3 )
|
|
string
|
|
.Ar pattern
|
|
and an
|
|
.Xr ed 1 Ns \-style
|
|
string
|
|
.Ar replacement .
|
|
Normally, the first occurrence of the pattern
|
|
.Ar pattern
|
|
in each word of the value is substituted with
|
|
.Ar replacement .
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql 1
|
|
modifier causes the substitution to apply to at most one word; the
|
|
.Ql g
|
|
modifier causes the substitution to apply to as many instances of the
|
|
search pattern
|
|
.Ar pattern
|
|
as occur in the word or words it is found in; the
|
|
.Ql W
|
|
modifier causes the value to be treated as a single word
|
|
(possibly containing embedded white space).
|
|
Note that
|
|
.Ql 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Ql g
|
|
are orthogonal; the former specifies whether multiple words are
|
|
potentially affected, the latter whether multiple substitutions can
|
|
potentially occur within each affected word.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
As for the
|
|
.Cm \&:S
|
|
modifier, the
|
|
.Ar pattern
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar replacement
|
|
are subjected to variable expansion before being parsed as
|
|
regular expressions.
|
|
.It Cm \&:T
|
|
Replaces each word in the variable with its last component.
|
|
.It Cm \&:u
|
|
Remove adjacent duplicate words (like
|
|
.Xr uniq 1 ) .
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.It Cm \&:\&? Ar true_string Cm \&: Ar false_string
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
If the variable name (not its value), when parsed as a .if conditional
|
|
expression, evaluates to true, return as its value the
|
|
.Ar true_string ,
|
|
otherwise return the
|
|
.Ar false_string .
|
|
Since the variable name is used as the expression, \&:\&? must be the
|
|
first modifier after the variable name itself - which will, of course,
|
|
usually contain variable expansions.
|
|
A common error is trying to use expressions like
|
|
.Dl ${NUMBERS:M42:?match:no}
|
|
which actually tests defined(NUMBERS),
|
|
to determine is any words match "42" you need to use something like:
|
|
.Dl ${"${NUMBERS:M42}" != \&"\&":?match:no} .
|
|
.It Ar :old_string=new_string
|
|
This is the
|
|
.At V
|
|
style variable substitution.
|
|
It must be the last modifier specified.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar old_string
|
|
or
|
|
.Ar new_string
|
|
do not contain the pattern matching character
|
|
.Ar %
|
|
then it is assumed that they are
|
|
anchored at the end of each word, so only suffixes or entire
|
|
words may be replaced.
|
|
Otherwise
|
|
.Ar %
|
|
is the substring of
|
|
.Ar old_string
|
|
to be replaced in
|
|
.Ar new_string .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both
|
|
.Ar old_string
|
|
and
|
|
.Ar new_string
|
|
with the single exception that a backslash is used to prevent the
|
|
expansion of a dollar sign
|
|
.Pq Ql \&$ ,

not a preceding dollar sign as is usual.
|

.Sm off

|
|
This is the loop expansion mechanism from the OSF Development
|
|
Environment (ODE) make.
|
|
Unlike
|
|
.Cm \&.for
|
|
loops expansion occurs at the time of
|
|
reference.
|
|
Assign
|
|
.Ar temp
|
|
to each word in the variable and evaluate
|
|
.Ar string .
|
|
The ODE convention is that
|
|
.Ar temp
|
|
should start and end with a period.
|
|
For example.
|
|
.Dl ${LINKS:@.LINK.@${LN} ${TARGET} ${.LINK.}@}
|
|
.Pp
|
|
However a single character variable is often more readable:
|
|
.Dl ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@}
|
|
.It Cm \&:U Ns Ar newval
|
|
If the variable is undefined
|
|
.Ar newval
|
|
is the value.
|
|
If the variable is defined, the existing value is returned.
|
|
This is another ODE make feature.
|
|
It is handy for setting per-target CFLAGS for instance:
|
|
.Dl ${_${.TARGET:T}_CFLAGS:U${DEF_CFLAGS}}
|
|
If a value is only required if the variable is undefined, use:
|
|
.Dl ${VAR:D:Unewval}
|
|
.It Cm \&:D Ns Ar newval
|
|
If the variable is defined
|
|
.Ar newval
|
|
is the value.
|
|
.It Cm \&:L
|
|
The name of the variable is the value.
|
|
.It Cm \&:P
|
|
The path of the node which has the same name as the variable
|
|
is the value.
|
|
If no such node exists or its path is null, then the
|
|
name of the variable is used.
|
|
In order for this modifier to work, the name (node) must at least have
|
|
appeared on the rhs of a dependency.
|
|
.Sm off
|
|
.It Cm \&:\&! Ar cmd Cm \&!
|
|
.Sm on
|
|
The output of running
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
is the value.
|
|
.It Cm \&:sh
|
|
If the variable is non-empty it is run as a command and the output
|
|
becomes the new value.
|
|
.It Cm \&::= Ns Ar str
|
|
The variable is assigned the value
|
|
.Ar str
|
|
after substitution.
|
|
This modifier and its variations are useful in
|
|
obscure situations such as wanting to set a variable when shell commands
|
|
are being parsed.
|
|
These assignment modifiers always expand to
|
|
nothing, so if appearing in a rule line by themselves should be
|
|
preceded with something to keep
|
|
.Nm
|
|
happy.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ql Cm \&::
|
|
helps avoid false matches with the
|
|
.At V
|
|
style
|
|
.Cm \&:=
|
|
modifier and since substitution always occurs the
|
|
.Cm \&::=
|
|
form is vaguely appropriate.
|
|
.It Cm \&::?= Ns Ar str
|
|
As for
|
|
.Cm \&::=
|
|
but only if the variable does not already have a value.
|
|
.It Cm \&::+= Ns Ar str
|
|
Append
|
|
.Ar str
|
|
to the variable.
|
|
.It Cm \&::!= Ns Ar cmd
|
|
Assign the output of
|
|
.Ar cmd
|
|
to the variable.
|
|
.It Cm \&:\&[ Ns Ar range Ns Cm \&]
|
|
Selects one or more words from the value,
|
|
or performs other operations related to the way in which the
|
|
value is divided into words.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Ordinarily, a value is treated as a sequence of words
|
|
delimited by white space.
|
|
Some modifiers suppress this behaviour,
|
|
causing a value to be treated as a single word
|
|
(possibly containing embedded white space).
|
|
An empty value, or a value that consists entirely of white-space,
|
|
is treated as a single word.
|
|
For the purposes of the
|
|
.Ql Cm \&:[]
|
|
modifier, the words are indexed both forwards using positive integers
|
|
(where index 1 represents the first word),
|
|
and backwards using negative integers
|
|
(where index \-1 represents the last word).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Ar range
|
|
is subjected to variable expansion, and the expanded result is
|
|
then interpreted as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width index
|
|
.\" :[n]
|
|
.It Ar index
|
|
Selects a single word from the value.
|
|
.\" :[start..end]
|
|
.It Ar start Ns Cm \&.. Ns Ar end
|
|
Selects all words from
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
to
|
|
.Ar end ,
|
|
inclusive.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Ql Cm \&:[2..-1]
|
|
selects all words from the second word to the last word.
|
|
If
|
|
.Ar start
|
|
is greater than
|
|
.Ar end ,
|
|
then the words are output in reverse order.
|
|
For example,
|
|
.Ql Cm \&:[-1..1]
|
|
selects all the words from last to first.
|
|
.\" :[*]
|
|
.It Cm \&*
|
|
Causes subsequent modifiers to treat the value as a single word
|
|
(possibly containing embedded white space).
|
|
Analogous to the effect of
|
|
\&"$*\&"
|
|
in Bourne shell.
|
|
.\" :[0]
|
|
.It 0
|
|
Means the same as
|
|
.Ql Cm \&:[*] .
|
|
.\" :[*]
|
|
.It Cm \&@
|
|
Causes subsequent modifiers to treat the value as a sequence of words
|
|
delimited by white space.
|
|
Analogous to the effect of
|
|
\&"$@\&"
|
|
in Bourne shell.
|
|
.\" :[#]
|
|
.It Cm \&#
|
|
Returns the number of words in the value.

.Sh INCLUDE STATEMENTS, CONDITIONALS AND FOR LOOPS
|
|
Makefile inclusion, conditional structures and for loops reminiscent
|
|
of the C programming language are provided in
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
All such structures are identified by a line beginning with a single
|
|
dot
|
|
.Pq Ql \&.
|
|
character.
|
|
Files are included with either
|
|
.Cm \&.include Aq Ar file
|
|
or
|
|
.Cm \&.include Pf \*q Ar file Ns \*q .
|
|
Variables between the angle brackets or double quotes are expanded
|
|
to form the file name.
|
|
If angle brackets are used, the included makefile is expected to be in
|
|
the system makefile directory.
|
|
If double quotes are used, the including makefile's directory and any
|
|
directories specified using the
|
|
.Fl I
|
|
option are searched before the system
|
|
makefile directory.
|
|
For compatibility with other versions of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Ql include file ...
|
|
is also accepted.
|
|
If the include statement is written as
|
|
.Cm .-include
|
|
or as
|
|
.Cm .sinclude
|
|
then errors locating and/or opening include files are ignored.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Conditional expressions are also preceded by a single dot as the first
|
|
character of a line.
|
|
The possible conditionals are as follows:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic .error Ar message
|
|
The message is printed along with the name of the makefile and line number,
|
|
then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will exit.
|
|
.It Ic .export Ar variable ...
|
|
Export the specified global variable.
|
|
If no variable list is provided, all globals are exported
|
|
except for internal variables (those that start with
|
|
.Ql \&. ) .
|
|
This is not affected by the
|
|
.Fl X
|
|
flag, so should be used with caution.
|
|
For compatibility with other
|
|
.Nm
|
|
programs
|
|
.Ql export variable=value
|
|
is also accepted.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Appending a variable name to
|
|
.Va .MAKE.EXPORTED
|
|
is equivalent to exporting a variable.
|
|
.It Ic .export-env Ar variable ...
|
|
The same as
|
|
.Ql .export ,
|
|
except that the variable is not appended to
|
|
.Va .MAKE.EXPORTED .
|
|
This allows exporting a value to the environment which is different from that
|
|
used by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
internally.
|
|
.It Ic .info Ar message
|
|
The message is printed along with the name of the makefile and line number.
|
|
.It Ic .undef Ar variable
|
|
Un-define the specified global variable.
|
|
Only global variables may be un-defined.
|
|
.It Ic .unexport Ar variable ...
|
|
The opposite of
|
|
.Ql .export .
|
|
The specified global
|
|
.Va variable
|
|
will be removed from
|
|
.Va .MAKE.EXPORTED .
|
|
If no variable list is provided, all globals are unexported,
|
|
and
|
|
.Va .MAKE.EXPORTED
|
|
deleted.
|
|
.It Ic .unexport-env
|
|
Unexport all globals previously exported and
|
|
clear the environment inherited from the parent.
|
|
This operation will cause a memory leak of the original environment,
|
|
so should be used sparingly.
|
|
Testing for
|
|
.Va .MAKE.LEVEL
|
|
being 0, would make sense.
|
|
Also note that any variables which originated in the parent environment
|
|
should be explicitly preserved if desired.
|
|
For example:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
.Li .if ${.MAKE.LEVEL} == 0
|
|
PATH := ${PATH}
|
|
.Li .unexport-env
|
|
.Li .export PATH
|
|
.Li .endif
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ed
|
|
Would result in an environment containing only
|
|
.Ql Ev PATH ,
|
|
which is the minimal useful environment.
|
|
Actually
|
|
.Ql Ev .MAKE.LEVEL
|
|
will also be pushed into the new environment.
|
|
.It Ic .warning Ar message
|
|
The message prefixed by
|
|
.Ql Pa warning:

Takes a variable, with possible modifiers, and evaluates to true if
|
|
the expansion of the variable would result in an empty string.
|
|
.It Ic exists
|
|
Takes a file name as an argument and evaluates to true if the file exists.
|
|
The file is searched for on the system search path (see
|
|
.Va .PATH ) .
|
|
.It Ic target
|
|
Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target
|
|
has been defined.
|
|
.It Ic commands
|
|
Takes a target name as an argument and evaluates to true if the target
|
|
has been defined and has commands associated with it.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Ar Expression
|
|
may also be an arithmetic or string comparison.
|
|
Variable expansion is
|
|
performed on both sides of the comparison, after which the integral
|
|
values are compared.
|
|
A value is interpreted as hexadecimal if it is
|
|
preceded by 0x, otherwise it is decimal; octal numbers are not supported.
|
|
The standard C relational operators are all supported.
|
|
If after
|
|
variable expansion, either the left or right hand side of a
|
|
.Ql Ic ==
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql Ic "!="
|
|
operator is not an integral value, then
|
|
string comparison is performed between the expanded
|
|
variables.
|
|
If no relational operator is given, it is assumed that the expanded
|
|
variable is being compared against 0 or an empty string in the case
|
|
of a string comparison.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is evaluating one of these conditional expressions, and it encounters
|
|
a (white-space separated) word it doesn't recognize, either the
|
|
.Dq make
|
|
or
|
|
.Dq defined
|
|
expression is applied to it, depending on the form of the conditional.
|
|
If the form is
|
|
.Ql Ic .ifdef ,
|
|
.Ql Ic .ifndef ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql Ic .if
|
|
the
|
|
.Dq defined
|
|
expression is applied.
|
|
Similarly, if the form is
|
|
.Ql Ic .ifmake
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql Ic .ifnmake , the
|
|
.Dq make
|
|
expression is applied.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If the conditional evaluates to true the parsing of the makefile continues
|
|
as before.
|
|
If it evaluates to false, the following lines are skipped.
|
|
In both cases this continues until a
|
|
.Ql Ic .else
|
|
or
|
|
.Ql Ic .endif
|
|
is found.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For loops are typically used to apply a set of rules to a list of files.
|
|
The syntax of a for loop is:
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Bl -tag -compact -width Ds
|
|
.It Ic \&.for Ar variable Oo Ar variable ... Oc Ic in Ar expression
|
|
.It Aq make-rules
|
|
.It Ic \&.endfor
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
After the for
|
|
.Ic expression
|
|
is evaluated, it is split into words.
|
|
On each iteration of the loop, one word is taken and assigned to each
|
|
.Ic variable ,
|
|
in order, and these
|
|
.Ic variables
|
|
are substituted into the
|
|
.Ic make-rules
|
|
inside the body of the for loop.
|
|
The number of words must come out even; that is, if there are three
|
|
iteration variables, the number of words provided must be a multiple
|
|
of three.
|
|
.Sh COMMENTS
|
|
Comments begin with a hash
|
|
.Pq Ql \&#
|
|
character, anywhere but in a shell
|
|
command line, and continue to the end of an unescaped new line.
|
|
.Sh SPECIAL SOURCES (ATTRIBUTES)
|
|
.Bl -tag -width .IGNOREx
|
|
.It Ic .EXEC
|
|
Target is never out of date, but always execute commands anyway.
|
|
.It Ic .IGNORE
|
|
Ignore any errors from the commands associated with this target, exactly
|
|
as if they all were preceded by a dash
|
|
.Pq Ql \- .
|
|
.\" .It Ic .INVISIBLE
|
|
.\" XXX
|
|
.\" .It Ic .JOIN
|
|
.\" XXX
|
|
.It Ic .MADE
|
|
Mark all sources of this target as being up-to-date.
|
|
.It Ic .MAKE
|
|
Execute the commands associated with this target even if the
|
|
.Fl n
|
|
or
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
options were specified.
|
|
Normally used to mark recursive
|
|
.Nm Ns s .
|
|
.It Ic .META
|
|
Create a meta file for the target, even if it is flagged as
|
|
.Ic .PHONY ,
|
|
.Ic .MAKE ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic .SPECIAL .
|
|
Usage in conjunction with
|
|
.Ic .MAKE
|
|
is the most likely case.
|
|
In "meta" mode, the target is out-of-date if the meta file is missing.
|
|
.It Ic .NOMETA
|
|
Do not create a meta file for the target.
|
|
Meta files are also not created for
|
|
.Ic .PHONY ,
|
|
.Ic .MAKE ,
|
|
or
|
|
.Ic .SPECIAL
|
|
targets.
|
|
.It Ic .NOMETA_CMP
|
|
Ignore differences in commands when deciding if target is out of date.
|
|
This is useful if the command contains a value which always changes.
|
|
If the number of commands change, though, the target will still be out of date.
|
|
The same effect applies to any command line that uses the variable
|
|
.Va .OODATE ,
|
|
which can be used for that purpose even when not otherwise needed or desired:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
|
|
skip-compare-for-some:
|
|
@echo this will be compared
|
|
@echo this will not ${.OODATE:M.NOMETA_CMP}
|
|
@echo this will also be compared
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
The
|
|
.Cm \&:M
|
|
pattern suppresses any expansion of the unwanted variable.
|
|
.It Ic .NOPATH
|
|
Do not search for the target in the directories specified by
|
|
.Ic .PATH .
|
|
.It Ic .NOTMAIN
|
|
Normally
|
|
.Nm
|
|
selects the first target it encounters as the default target to be built
|
|
if no target was specified.
|
|
This source prevents this target from being selected.
|
|
.It Ic .OPTIONAL
|
|
If a target is marked with this attribute and
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can't figure out how to create it, it will ignore this fact and assume
|
|
the file isn't needed or already exists.
|
|
.It Ic .PHONY
|
|
The target does not
|
|
correspond to an actual file; it is always considered to be out of date,
|
|
and will not be created with the
|
|
.Fl t
|
|
option.
|
|
Suffix-transformation rules are not applied to
|
|
.Ic .PHONY
|
|
targets.
|
|
.It Ic .PRECIOUS
|
|
When
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is interrupted, it normally removes any partially made targets.
|
|
This source prevents the target from being removed.
|
|
.It Ic .RECURSIVE
|
|
Synonym for
|
|
.Ic .MAKE .
|
|
.It Ic .SILENT
|
|
Do not echo any of the commands associated with this target, exactly
|
|
as if they all were preceded by an at sign
|
|
.Pq Ql @ .
|
|
.It Ic .USE
|
|
Turn the target into
|
|
.Nm Ns 's
|
|
version of a macro.
|
|
When the target is used as a source for another target, the other target
|
|
acquires the commands, sources, and attributes (except for
|
|
.Ic .USE )
|
|
of the
|
|
source.
|
|
If the target already has commands, the
|
|
.Ic .USE
|
|
target's commands are appended
|
|
to them.
|
|
.It Ic .USEBEFORE
|
|
Exactly like
|
|
.Ic .USE ,
|
|
but prepend the
|
|
.Ic .USEBEFORE
|
|
target commands to the target.
|
|
.It Ic .WAIT
|
|
If
|
|
.Ic .WAIT
|
|
appears in a dependency line, the sources that precede it are
|
|
made before the sources that succeed it in the line.
|
|
Since the dependents of files are not made until the file itself
|
|
could be made, this also stops the dependents being built unless they
|
|
are needed for another branch of the dependency tree.
|
|
So given:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
x: a .WAIT b
|
|
echo x
|
|
a:
|
|
echo a
|
|
b: b1
|
|
echo b
|
|
b1:
|
|
echo b1
|
|
|
|
.Ed
|
|
the output is always
|
|
.Ql a ,
|
|
.Ql b1 ,
|
|
.Ql b ,
|
|
.Ql x .
|
|
.br
|
|
The ordering imposed by
|
|
.Ic .WAIT
|
|
is only relevant for parallel makes.

.Sh SPECIAL TARGETS
|
|
Special targets may not be included with other targets, i.e. they must be
|
|
the only target specified.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width .BEGINx
|
|
.It Ic .BEGIN
|
|
Any command lines attached to this target are executed before anything
|
|
else is done.
|
|
.It Ic .DEFAULT
|
|
This is sort of a
|
|
.Ic .USE
|
|
rule for any target (that was used only as a
|
|
source) that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
can't figure out any other way to create.
|
|
Only the shell script is used.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic .IMPSRC
|
|
variable of a target that inherits
|
|
.Ic .DEFAULT Ns 's
|
|
commands is set
|
|
to the target's own name.
|
|
.It Ic .END
|
|
Any command lines attached to this target are executed after everything
|
|
else is done.
|
|
.It Ic .ERROR
|
|
Any command lines attached to this target are executed when another target fails.
|
|
The
|
|
.Ic .ERROR_TARGET
|
|
variable is set to the target that failed.
|
|
See also
|
|
.Ic MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR .
|
|
.It Ic .IGNORE
|
|
Mark each of the sources with the
|
|
.Ic .IGNORE
|
|
attribute.
|
|
If no sources are specified, this is the equivalent of specifying the
|
|
.Fl i
|
|
option.
|
|
.It Ic .INTERRUPT
|
|
If
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is interrupted, the commands for this target will be executed.
|
|
.It Ic .MAIN
|
|
If no target is specified when
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is invoked, this target will be built.
|
|
.It Ic .MAKEFLAGS
|
|
This target provides a way to specify flags for
|
|
.Nm
|
|
when the makefile is used.
|
|
The flags are as if typed to the shell, though the
|
|
.Fl f
|
|
option will have
|
|
no effect.
|
|
.\" XXX: NOT YET!!!!
|
|
.\" .It Ic .NOTPARALLEL
|
|
.\" The named targets are executed in non parallel mode.
|
|
.\" If no targets are

|
.\" specified, then all targets are executed in non parallel mode.
|
|
.It Ic .NOPATH
|
|
Apply the
|
|
.Ic .NOPATH
|
|
attribute to any specified sources.
|
|
.It Ic .NOTPARALLEL
|
|
Disable parallel mode.
|
|
.It Ic .NO_PARALLEL
|
|
Synonym for
|
|
.Ic .NOTPARALLEL ,
|
|
for compatibility with other pmake variants.
|
|
.It Ic .ORDER
|
|
The named targets are made in sequence.
|
|
This ordering does not add targets to the list of targets to be made.
|
|
Since the dependents of a target do not get built until the target itself
|
|
could be built, unless
|
|
.Ql a
|
|
is built by another part of the dependency graph,
|
|
the following is a dependency loop:
|
|
.Bd -literal
|
|
\&.ORDER: b a
|
|
b: a
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|

.\" The named targets are executed in parallel mode.
|
|
.\" If no targets are
|
|
.\" specified, then all targets are executed in parallel mode.
|
|
.It Ic .PATH
|
|
The sources are directories which are to be searched for files not
|
|
found in the current directory.
|
|
If no sources are specified, any previously specified directories are
|
|
deleted.
|
|
If the source is the special
|
|
.Ic .DOTLAST
|
|
target, then the current working
|
|
directory is searched last.
|
|
.It Ic .PATH. Ns Va suffix
|
|
Like
|
|
.Ic .PATH
|
|
but applies only to files with a particular suffix.
|
|
The suffix must have been previously declared with

Apply the
|
|
.Ic .PHONY
|
|
attribute to any specified sources.
|
|
.It Ic .PRECIOUS
|
|
Apply the
|
|
.Ic .PRECIOUS
|
|
attribute to any specified sources.
|
|
If no sources are specified, the

attribute is applied to every
|
|
target in the file.
|
|
.It Ic .SHELL
|
|
Sets the shell that
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will use to execute commands.
|
|
The sources are a set of
|
|
.Ar field=value
|
|
pairs.
|

.Sh COMPATIBILITY
|
|
The basic make syntax is compatible between different versions of make,
|
|
however the special variables, variable modifiers and conditionals are not.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The way that parallel makes are scheduled changed in
|
|
.Nx 4.0
|
|
so that .ORDER and .WAIT apply recursively to the dependent nodes.
|
|
The algorithms used may change again in the future.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The way that .for loop variables are substituted changed after
|
|
.Nx 5.0
|
|
so that they still appear to be variable expansions.
|
|
In particular this stops them being treated as syntax, and removes some
|
|
obscure problems using them in .if statements.

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command appeared in
|
|
.At v7 .
|
|
This
|
|
.Nm
|
|
implementation is based on Adam De Boor's pmake program which was written
|
|
for Sprite at Berkeley.
|
|
It was designed to be a parallel distributed make running jobs on different
|
|
machines using a daemon called
|
|
.Dq customs .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Historically the target/dependency
|
|
.Dq FRC
|
|
has been used to FoRCe rebuilding (since the target/dependency
|
|
does not exist... unless someone creates an
|
|
.Dq FRC
|
|
file).
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
syntax is difficult to parse without actually acting of the data.
|
|
For instance finding the end of a variable use should involve scanning each
|
|
the modifiers using the correct terminator for each field.
|
|
In many places
|
|
.Nm
|
|
just counts {} and () in order to find the end of a variable expansion.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is no way of escaping a space character in a filename.
|
