@(#)mkdep.1 8.1 (Berkeley) 6/6/93
.Dd October 15, 2010 .Dt MKDEP 1 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mkdep .Nd construct Makefile dependency list .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Fl aDdopq .Op Fl f Ar file .Op Fl s Ar suffixes .Li -- .Op Ar flags .Ar file ... .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm takes a set of flags for the C compiler and a list of C source files as arguments and constructs a set of include file dependencies which are written into the file ``.depend''. An example of its use in a Makefile might be: d -literal -offset indent CFLAGS= -O -I../include SRCS= file1.c file2.c depend: mkdep -- ${CFLAGS} ${SRCS} .Ed
p where the macro SRCS is the list of C source files and the macro CFLAGS is the list of flags for the C compiler.
p The options are as follows: l -tag -width Ds t Fl a Append to the output file, so that multiple .Nm Ns 's may be run from a single Makefile. t Fl D Post process (as .Fl d ) but read the list of filenames from stdin. t Fl d Post process and merge previously created (for example by .Dq cc -MD x.c ) depend files into a single file. t Fl f Write the include file dependencies to .Ar file , instead of the default ``.depend''. t Fl o Add an additional .OPTIONAL line for each dependant file. t Fl p Cause .Nm to produce dependencies of the form: d -literal -offset indent program: program.c .Ed
p so that subsequent makes will produce .Ar program directly from its C module rather than using an intermediate
a .o
module.
This is useful for programs whose source is contained in a single
module.
.Fl p
is equivalent to specifying a null suffix with
.Fl s .
t Fl q Do not print a warning for inaccessible files when
.Fl d
is given.
t Fl s Expand each target filename to a list, replacing the
.Ql .o
suffix with each element of
.Ar suffixes .
The list of suffixes may be space or comma separated.

.Sh HISTORY
The
.Nm
command appeared in
x 4.3 Tahoe . .Sh BUGS
Some characters special to
.Xr make 1 ,
most notably the comment character, are not escaped correctly if they
appear in file names.
This can lead to unparseable output or silently cause dependencies to
be lost.
(This problem is actually in gcc -M.)
