gccmakedep - create dependencies in makefiles using 'gcc -M'

<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B>gccmakedep</B>
program calls 'gcc -M' to output
<I>makefile</I>
rules describing the dependencies of each
<I>sourcefile</I>,
so that
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+make">make</A></B>(1)
knows which object files must be recompiled when a dependency has changed.
<P>
By default,
<B>gccmakedep</B>
places its output in the file named
<I>makefile</I>
if it exists, otherwise
<I>Makefile.</I>
An alternate makefile may be specified with the
<B>-f</B>
option.
It first searches the makefile for a line beginning with
<P>
# DO NOT DELETE
<P>
or one provided with the
<B>-s</B>
option, as a delimiter for the dependency output.
If it finds it, it will delete everything following this up to the end of
the makefile and put the output after this line.
If it doesn't find it, the program will append the string to the makefile
and place the output after that.
<A NAME="lbAE">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>EXAMPLE</H2>
Normally,
<B>gccmakedep</B>
will be used in a makefile target so that typing 'make depend' will bring
the dependencies up to date for the makefile.
For example,
<PRE>
SRCS&nbsp;=&nbsp;file1.c&nbsp;file2.c&nbsp;...
CFLAGS&nbsp;=&nbsp;-O&nbsp;-DHACK&nbsp;-I../foobar&nbsp;-xyz
depend:
gccmakedep&nbsp;--&nbsp;$(CFLAGS)&nbsp;--&nbsp;$(SRCS)
</PRE>
<A NAME="lbAF">&nbsp;</A>
<H2>OPTIONS</H2>
The program will ignore any option that it does not understand, so you may
use the same arguments that you would for
<B><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+gcc">gcc</A></B>(1),
including
<B>-D</B>
and
<B>-U</B>
options to define and undefine symbols and
<B>-I</B>
to set the include path.
<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>-a</B>
<DD>
Append the dependencies to the file instead of replacing existing
dependencies.
<DT id="2"><B>-f</B><I>makefile</I>
<DD>
Filename.
This allows you to specify an alternate makefile in which
<B>gccmakedep</B>
can place its output.
Specifying "-" as the file name (that is,
<B>-f-</B>)
sends the output to standard output instead of modifying an existing file.
<DT id="3"><B>-s</B><I>string</I>
<DD>
Starting string delimiter.
This option permits you to specify a different string for
<B>gccmakedep</B>
to look for in the makefile.
The default is "# DO NOT DELETE".
<DT id="4"><B>--</B><I> options </I><B>--</B>
<DD>
If
<B>gccmakedep</B>
encounters a double hyphen (--) in the argument list, then any
unrecognized arguments following it will be silently ignored.
A second double hyphen terminates this special treatment.
In this way,
<B>gccmakedep</B>
can be made to safely ignore esoteric compiler arguments that might
normally be found in a CFLAGS
<B>make</B>
macro (see the
<B>EXAMPLE</B>
section above).
<B>-D</B>,
<B>-I</B>,
and
<B>-U</B>
options appearing between the pair of double hyphens are still processed
normally.
