This allows machine -dependencies (such as compiler options, alternate command names, and special -\fImake\fP rules) to be kept separate from the descriptions of the -various items to be built. -.SH OPTIONS -The following command line options may be passed to \fIimake\fP: -.TP 8 -.B \-D\fIdefine\fP -This option is passed directly to \fIcpp\fP. It is typically used to set -directory-specific variables. For example, the X Window System uses this -flag to set \fITOPDIR\fP to the name of the directory containing the top -of the core distribution and \fICURDIR\fP to the name of the current -directory, relative to the top. -.TP 8 -.B \-I\fIdirectory\fP -This option is passed directly to \fIcpp\fP. It is typically used to -indicate the directory in which the \fIimake\fP template and configuration -files may be found. -.TP 8 -.B \-U\fIdefine\fP -This option is passed directly to \fIcpp\fP. It is typically used to -unset variables when debugging \fIimake\fP configuration files. -.TP 8 -.B \-T\fItemplate\fP -This option specifies the name of the master template file (which is usually -located in the directory specified with \fI\-I\fP) used by \fIcpp\fP. -The default is \fIImake.tmpl\fP. -.TP 8 -.B \-f \fIfilename\fP -This option specifies the name of the per-directory input file. The default -is \fIImakefile\fP. -.TP 8 -.B \-C \fIfilename\fP -This option specifies the name of the .c file that is constructed in the -current directory. The default is \fIImakefile.c\fP. -.TP 8 -.B \-s \fIfilename\fP -This option specifies the name of the \fImake\fP description file to be -generated but \fImake\fP should not be invoked. -If the \fIfilename\fP is a dash (\-), the -output is written to \fIstdout\fP. The default is to generate, but -not execute, a \fIMakefile\fP. -.TP 8 -.B \-e -This option indicates the \fIimake\fP should execute the generated -\fIMakefile\fP. The default is to leave this to the user. -.TP 8 -.B \-v -This option indicates that \fIimake\fP should print the \fIcpp\fP command line -that it is using to generate the \fIMakefile\fP. -.SH "HOW IT WORKS" -\fIImake\fP invokes \fIcpp\fP with any \fI\-I\fP or \fI\-D\fP flags passed -on the command line and passes the name of a file containing the -following 3 lines: -.sp -.nf -\& #define IMAKE_TEMPLATE "Imake.tmpl" -\& #define INCLUDE_IMAKEFILE <Imakefile> -\& #include IMAKE_TEMPLATE -.fi -.sp -where \fIImake.tmpl\fP and \fIImakefile\fP may be overridden by the -\fI\-T\fP and \fI\-f\fP command options, respectively. -.PP -The IMAKE_TEMPLATE typically -reads in a file containing machine-dependent parameters -(specified as \fIcpp\fP symbols), a site-specific parameters file, -a file defining variables, -a file -containing \fIcpp\fP macro functions for generating \fImake\fP rules, and -finally the \fIImakefile\fP (specified by INCLUDE_IMAKEFILE) in the current -directory. The \fIImakefile\fP uses the macro functions to indicate what -targets should be built; \fIimake\fP takes care of generating the appropriate -rules. -.PP -.I Imake -configuration files contain two types of variables, imake variables -and make variables. The imake variables are interpreted by cpp when -.I imake -is run. By convention they are mixed case. The make variables are -written into the -.I Makefile -for later interpretation by -.I make. -By convention make variables are upper case. -.PP -The rules file (usually named \fIImake.rules\fP in the configuration -directory) contains a variety of \fIcpp\fP macro functions that are -configured according to the current platform. \fIImake\fP replaces -any occurrences of the string ``@@'' with a newline to allow macros that -generate more than one line of \fImake\fP rules. -For example, the macro -.ta 1i 1.6i 5i -.nf - -\& #define program_target(program, objlist) @@\e - program: objlist @@\e - $(CC) \-o $@ objlist $(LDFLAGS) - -.fi -when called with -.I "program_target(foo, foo1.o foo2.o)" -will expand to -.nf - - foo: foo1.o foo2.o - $(CC) \-o $@ foo1.o foo2.o $(LDFLAGS) - -.fi -.PP -\fIImake\fP also replaces any occurrences of the word ``XCOMM'' with -the character ``#'' to permit placing comments in the Makefile without -causing ``invalid directive'' errors from the preprocessor. -.PP -Some complex \fIimake\fP macros require generated \fImake\fP variables -local to each invocation of the macro, often because their value -depends on parameters passed to the macro. -Such variables can be created by using an \fIimake\fP variable -of the form \fBXVARdef\fP\fIn\fP, where \fIn\fP is a single digit. -A unique \fImake\fP variable will be substituted. Later occurrences -of the variable \fBXVARuse\fP\fIn\fP will -be replaced by the variable created by the corresponding -\fBXVARdef\fP\fIn\fP. -.PP -On systems whose \fIcpp\fP reduces multiple tabs and spaces to a single -space, \fIimake\fP attempts to put back any necessary tabs (\fImake\fP is -very picky about the difference between tabs and spaces). For this reason, -colons (:) in command lines must be preceded by a backslash (\\). -.SH "USE WITH THE X WINDOW SYSTEM" -The X Window System uses \fIimake\fP extensively, for both full builds within -the source tree and external software. As mentioned above, two special -variables, \fITOPDIR\fP and \fICURDIR,\fP are set to make referencing files -using relative path names easier. For example, the following command is -generated automatically to build the \fIMakefile\fP in the directory -\fIlib/X/\fP (relative to the top of the sources): -.sp -.nf - % ../.././config/imake \-I../.././config \\ - \-DTOPDIR=../../. \-DCURDIR=./lib/X -.fi -.sp -When building X programs outside the source tree, a special symbol -\fIUseInstalled\fP is defined and \fITOPDIR\fP and -\fICURDIR\fP are omitted. If the configuration files have been -properly installed, the script \fIxmkmf\fP(1) may be used. -.SH "INPUT FILES" -Here is a summary of the files read by -.I imake -as used by X. -The indentation shows what files include what other files. -.nf -.sp -.ta 3i - Imake.tmpl generic variables - site.def site-specific, BeforeVendorCF defined - *.cf machine-specific - *Lib.rules shared library rules - site.def site-specific, AfterVendorCF defined - Imake.rules rules - Project.tmpl X-specific variables - *Lib.tmpl shared library variables - Imakefile - Library.tmpl library rules - Server.tmpl server rules - Threads.tmpl multi-threaded rules -.fi -.LP -Note that \fIsite.def\fP gets included twice, once before the -\fI*.cf\fP file and once after. Although most site customizations -should be specified after the \fI*.cf\fP file, some, such as the -choice of compiler, need to be specified before, because other -variable settings may depend on them. -.LP -The first time \fIsite.def\fP is included, the variable BeforeVendorCF -is defined, and the second time, the variable AfterVendorCF is -defined. All code in \fIsite.def\fP should be inside an #ifdef for -one of these symbols. -.SH FILES -.ta 3i -Imakefile.c temporary input file for cpp -.br -/tmp/Imf.XXXXXX temporary Makefile for -s -.br -/tmp/IIf.XXXXXX temporary Imakefile if specified Imakefile uses # comments -.br -__cpp__ default C preprocessor -.DT -.SH "SEE ALSO" -make(1), xmkmf(1) -.br -S.

Feldman, -.I -Make \(em A Program for Maintaining Computer Programs -.SH "ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES" -The following environment variables may be set, however their use is not -recommended as they introduce dependencies that are not readily apparent -when \fIimake\fP is run: -.TP 5 -.B IMAKEINCLUDE -If defined, this specifies a ``\-I'' include argument to pass to the -C preprocessor. E.g., ``\-I/usr/X11/config''. -.TP 5 -.B IMAKECPP -If defined, this should be a valid path to a preprocessor program. -E.g., ``/usr/local/cpp''. -By default, -.I imake -will use cc -E or __cpp__, depending on the OS specific configuration. -.TP 5 -.B IMAKEMAKE -If defined, this should be a valid path to a make program, -such as ``/usr/local/make''. -By default, -.I imake -will use whatever -.I make -program is found using -.I execvp(3). -This variable is only used if the ``\-e'' option is specified. -.SH "AUTHOR" -Todd Brunhoff, Tektronix and MIT Project Athena; Jim Fulton, MIT X Consortium |
