NAME

build.dep.mk — bsdbuild - dependency generation

SYNOPSIS

.include <bsd.dep.mk>

DESCRIPTION

The build.dep.mk module is used by build.prog.mk(5) and build.lib.mk(5), but is never included directly into makefiles. Its role is to generate .depend files, which are used in the build process to determine if object files need to be rebuilt.

TARGETS

depend

Generate a .depend file by invoking the compiler with the -M flag.

clean-depend

Clean up the .depend file.

VARIABLES

MKDEP

Path to mkdep(1) utility. Defaults to ‘${TOP}/mk/mkdep’, which is bundled with BSDBuild.

CC

Compiler command to invoke (must support the -M option).

SEE ALSO

HISTORY

build.dep.mk first appeared in BSDBuild 1.0.

BSDBuild is based on the 4.4BSD build system.
