RE: Convert nmake Makefile to GNU Makefile

[Achugatla, Vijay K. (LNG-CON)]

Hi,

 

I am converting a nmake Makefile to GNU Makefile

 

My nmake Makefile looks something like

 

_SVID_GETTOD==0

.SOURCE.h : ../common

.SOURCE : ../common \

        ../rwcstr

 

CFLAGS += -D

COMMONSRC = $(*.VIEW:D:X=common:L=*.C)

RWCSTRSRC = $(*.VIEW:D:X=rwcstr:L=*.C)

 

all:

common 2 :sharedlibrary: \

             $(COMMONSRC)

rwcstr 1 :sharedlibrary: $(RWCSTRSRC)

 

I have written the GNU Makefiles something like to include the auto dependency list generation in this file

 

MAKEDEPEND = gcc -M $(CFLAGS) -o $*.d $<

all:

common 2 :sharedlibrary: \

             $(COMMONSRC)

rwcstr 1 :sharedlibrary: $(RWCSTRSRC)

 

@$(MAKEDEPEND); \

cp $*.d $*.P; \

sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[^:]*: *//' -e 's/ *\\$$//' \

    -e '/^$$/ d' -e 's/$$/ :/' < $*.d >> $*.P; \

rm -f $*.d

$(COMMONSRC) $(RWCSTRSRC) -o $@ $<

 

Does this make any sense? Please suggest me if this is wrong

 

Thanks,

Vijay

Hi, Vijay.  The make manual is available online here:

 

  http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Top

 

This section, discussing GNU make's missing features may help in your

conversion:

 

  http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html#Missing

 

I would start off by doing whatever adjustments are necessary from

your reading of the missing features section, and then try it and make

any corrections from there.

 

By the way, I recommend upgrading to the latest version: 3.81.

 

Good luck.
