DESCRIPTION Makefiles is a set(7,n,1 builtins) of rules that allows compiling of structured projects with small and uniformly structured makefiles. All rules are located in(1,8) a central directory. Compiling the projects on different platforms can be done simultaneously without the need to modify any of the makefiles that are located in(1,8) the projects directories. Makefiles is a set(7,n,1 builtins) of high level portability tools superior to autoconf and easier to use. Three make programs are supported: Sunpro make, GNU make and smake. BSDmake could be supported if(3,n) it supports pattern matching rules cor- rectly. The main design goal was to have a set(7,n,1 builtins) of small and easy to read(2,n,1 builtins) make- files, each located in(1,8) the project's leaf directory and therefore called leaf-makefile. Each of these leaf-makefiles, in(1,8) fact contains no rule at all. It sim- ply defines some macros for the make-program and includes two files from a central make rule depository. The included files and the files that are recursively included define the rules that are needed to com- pile the project. Each leaf-makefile is formed in(1,8) a really simple way: It first defines two macros that define the relative location of the project's root directory and the name of the directory that contains the complete set(7,n,1 builtins) of of rules and then includes the rule file(1,n) rules.top from the directory that forms the central rule depository. You only have to edit the macro SRCROOT to reflect the relative location of the project's root directory. The next part of a leaf-makefile defines macros that describe the target and the source. You can only have one target per leaf-makefile. Of course, there may be many source files, that are needed to create that target. If you want to make more than one target in(1,8) a specific directory, you have to put more than one makefile into that directory. This is the part of a make- file(1,n) that describes a unique target. Edit this part to contain all source files, all local include files and all non global compile time(1,2,n) flags that are needed for your target. For a typi- cal target this is as simple as filling in(1,8) a form. Each leaf-makefile finally includes a file(1,n) from the rules direc- tory that contains rules for the appropriate type of target that is to be made from this leaf-makefile. The makefile in(1,8) each directory has to be called Makefile. If you want to have more than one makefile in(1,8) a specific directory, you have to choose different names for the other makefiles. There are rules for the following type of targets: commands The make rules for user level commands like cat, ls etc. are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.cmd drivers The make rules for device drivers are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.drv libraries The make rules for non shared libraries are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.lib shared libraries The make rules for shared libraries are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.shl localized files The make rules for localized files are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.loc nonlocalized files The make rules for non localized files are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.aux shell scripts The make rules for shell scripts (a variant of localized files) are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.scr manual pages The make rules for manual pages (a variant of localized files) are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.man diverted makefiles The make rules for projects that need to have more than one makefile in(1,8) a specific directory are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.mks It contains a rule that diverts to the listed sub makefiles. Each sub makefile may be of any type. directories The make rules for sub directories are located in(1,8) the file(1,n) rules.dir Macros/Variables Used In Rules The following is a description of the most important macros used within the make rules. NOTE: not all of them might be changed in(1,8) a specific makefile. Carefully read(2,n,1 builtins) the description and change only those macros that are intended to be used to change the behavior of the compilation. ARCHDIR contains the location where object files and make targets will be placed. A typical name would be: OBJ/sparc-sunos5-cc Do not change this macro. ASFLAGS The flags that are used with the assembler. Do not change this macro. ASMFILES a list of assembler source files, to be specified in(1,8) a leaf makefile. ASOPTS The internal macro that contains the flags for the assem- bler. Change this macro if(3,n) you want to change the behav- ior. Use: ASOPTS= value If you want to override the default value. If you want to override the default assem- bler flags from the command line call: make 'ASOPTS=value' Use: ASOPTS += value If you want to add flags to the default value from within a makefile. ASOPTX may be used if(3,n) you want to add flags to the assembler flags from the command line. Use: make 'ASOPTX=value' C_ARCH this macro contains the c-compiler architecture name. Do not change this macro. CCOM This macro may be used from the command line to use a dif- ferent c-compiler than the default. Use: make 'CCOM=gcc' to use gcc for the next run. Note: The value of CCOM must not necessarily be identical to the real name of the c- compiler. It refers to a filename which contains the def- inition for that c-compiler. This hint applies as well to all other macros that deal with the name of the c-com- piler. The only macro, that contains the real invocation name of the c-compiler, is CC. CC is set(7,n,1 builtins) inside the machine dependent configuration file(1,n) in(1,8) the central rules depository and must not be changed elsewhere. CFILES a list of C source files, to be specified in(1,8) a leaf make- file. CFLAGS The flags that are used with the c-compiler. Do not use flags that belong to the c-preprocessor in(1,8) the COPTOPT, COPTS and COPTX macros. Do not change this macro. CLEAN_FILES A list of files ( besides the object files ) that will be removed with make clean. Do not change this macro. CLEAN_FILEX this macro may be used to define additional files that should be removed with make clean. CLOBBER_FILEX this macro may be used to define additional files that should be removed with make clobber. COPTOPT The c-compiler optimization flag. This flag is intended to be overridden either from a makefile or from command line. COPTS The internal macro that contains the flags for the c-com- piler. Change this macro if(3,n) you want to change the behav- ior. Use: COPTS= value If you want to override the default value. If you want to override the default c-com- piler flags from the command line call: make 'COPTS=value' Use: COPTS += value If you want to add flags to the default value from within a makefile. COPTX may be used if(3,n) you want to add flags to the c-compiler flags from the command line. Use: make 'COPTX=value' CPPFLAGS The flags that are used with the c-preprocessor. This macro as well as: CPPOPTS and CPPOPTX are also used when compiling c-programs. They should contain only the fol- lowing flags: -Dname=value , -Uname , -Idirectory and -Ydirectory. Do not change this macro. CPPOPTS The internal macro that contains the flags for the c-pre- processor. Change this macro if(3,n) you want to change the behavior. Use: CPPOPTS= value If you want to override the default value. If you want to override the default c-pre- processor flags from the command line call: make 'CPPOPTS=value' Use: CPPOPTS += value If you want to add flags to the default value from within a makefile. CPPOPTX may be used if(3,n) you want to add flags to the c-preprocessor flags from the command line. Use: make 'CPPOPTX=value' CURDIR This macro contains the name of the sub directory that is currently processed. Do not change this macro. CWARNOPTS This macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTS- DIR)/Defaults or $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTS- DIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH) to overwrite the default c-com- piler warn options. CWOPTS This macro is set(7,n,1 builtins) inside the machine dependent configura- tion file(1,n) in(1,8) the central rules depository and must not be changed elsewhere. It contains the flags that set(7,n,1 builtins) the default warning level for the c-compiler. DEFINSGRP this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the projects defaults file(1,n) to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the default group id for installation DEFINSMODE this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the projects defaults file(1,n) to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the default file(1,n) permission for installation DEFINSUSR this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the projects defaults file(1,n) to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the default user id for installation DEFUMASK this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the projects defaults file(1,n) to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the default umask value for creating sub directories DEFAULTSDIR this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) from command line or from the shell environment if(3,n) the user wants to use a different set(7,n,1 builtins) of Defaults files that is not located in(1,8) the directory DEFAULTS in(1,8) the source root directory. This may be used to hold two or more set(7,n,1 builtins) of defaults that differ e.g. in(1,8) the installation path or the C-compiler. DEFAULTSROOT this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile, if(3,n) that makefile wants to use a Defaults file(1,n) that is not located in(1,8) $(DEFAULTSDIR) in(1,8) the source root. This may be used, if(3,n) a sub tree in(1,8) a big project needs a different setup. DEFLTSDIR This is an internally used macro that is set(7,n,1 builtins) from $(DEFAULTSDIR) or from the internal defaults. Do not change this macro. DEFLTSROOT This is an internally used macro that is set(7,n,1 builtins) from $(DEFAULTSROOT) or from the internal defaults. Do not change this macro. DEFCCOM the default name of the c-compiler. This is usually set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the file(1,n) $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults or $(DEFLTS- ROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH). DEFINCDIRS a list of directories that are searched by default in(1,8) addition to the system include directories. If this macro is not set(7,n,1 builtins), $(SRCROOT)/include is used. DIRNAME this macro needs to be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the makefile that is located in(1,8) the $(SRCROOT) directory. The value should be either set(7,n,1 builtins) to the name of the directory where the makefile is located or to SRCROOT. The value of this macro is updated automatically to follow the directory hierarchy. Do not change this macro in(1,8) a make file(1,n) other than the make file(1,n) in(1,8) the source root. DIRS this macro needs to be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a makefile that is located in(1,8) a directory that contains diversion directories. It must contain a list of directory names where the diver- sions go to e.g. DIRS= libfoo libbar libgarbage. HFILES for normal operation, makefiles will automatically find which include files are needed for compilation. However, if(3,n) you want to create a tag file(1,n) that includes tags for definitions that occur within include files, you should set(7,n,1 builtins) HFILES to be a list of include files containing such definitions. INCDIRS this macro will normally be a copy from DEFINCDIRS. You may however specify a different value in(1,8) a leaf makefile or from command line. This will overwrite the defaults value. INS_BASE this macro has to be specified in(1,8) the file(1,n) $(DEFLTS- ROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults or $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTS- DIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH). It must contain the path name of the root for installing general targets of the project. See INSDIR. INS_KBASE this macro has to be specified in(1,8) the file(1,n) $(DEFLTS- ROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults or $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTS- DIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH). It must contain the path name of the root for installing kernel modules from the project. See INSDIR. INSDIR this macro has to be specified in(1,8) the leaf makefile. It must contain the path name of a directory relative to INS_BASE or INS_KBASE. The target will be installed into $(INS_BASE)/$(INSDIR) . INSGRP this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the group id for installation INSMODE this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the file(1,n) permission for installation INSUSR this macro may be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile to set(7,n,1 builtins) up the user id for installation K_ARCH this macro contains the kernel/machine architecture for the target machine (e.g. sun3 sun4c sun4m sun4u 9000-725 aviion). It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the output of uname(1,2) -m converted to lower case. Do not change this macro. KARCH this macro contains the kernel/machine architecture for the target machine (e.g. sun3 sun4c sun4m sun4u 9000-725 aviion). It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the output of uname(1,2) -m converted to lower case. Do not change this macro unless you want to do a cross compilation. LDFLAGS The flags that are used with the linker. Do not change this macro. LDLIBS The internal macro that holds the libraries that are used while linking the target. Do not change this macro. LDOPTS The internal macro that contains the flags for the linker. Change this macro if(3,n) you want to change the behavior. Use: LDOPTS= value If you want to override the default value. If you want to override the default linker flags from the command line call: make 'LDOPTS=value' Use: LDOPTS += value If you want to add flags to the default value from within a makefile. LDOPTX may be used if(3,n) you want to add flags to the linker flags from the command line. Use: make 'LDOPTX=value' LDPATH the default library search path for the linker. This is usually set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the file(1,n) $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTS- DIR)/Defaults or $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTS- DIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH). LIB_KVM a predefined macro that contains the operating system dependent name of a library that is needed by programs that read(2,n,1 builtins)/write(1,2) kernel virtual(5,8) memory. Add $(LIB_KVM) to your list of libraries (e.g. LIBS= -lintl $(LIB_KVM)), if(3,n) your target uses kvm. LIB_MATH a predefined macro that contains the operating system dependent name of a library that is needed by programs that use routines of the math library. Add $(LIB_MATH) to your list of libraries (e.g. LIBS= -lintl $(LIB_MATH)), if(3,n) your target uses math subroutines. LIB_SOCKET a predefined macro that contains the operating system dependent name of a library that is needed by programs that use socket(2,7,n) calls. Add $(LIB_SOCKET) to your list of libraries (e.g. LIBS= -lintl $(LIB_SOCKET)), if(3,n) your tar- get uses sockets. Note: this should (for portability rea- sons) even be done on systems that don't require a socket(2,7,n) library because they have the socket(2,7,n) interface inside libc. LIBS_PATH this macro contains the path to a directory where those libraries are located, that have been build during a make run inside the current project. Do not change this macro. M_ARCH this macro contains the machine architecture for the tar- get machine (e.g. sun3 sun4 ip22 i86pc i586 9000-725 avi- ion). It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the output of arch converted to lower case. On systems, where M_ARCH is not available, it is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the content of K_ARCH. Do not change this macro. MK_FILES makefiles that divert into sub makes within the same directory must set(7,n,1 builtins) MK_FILES to be a list of makefile names for the sub makes. Makefile names for sub makes should have a name that is build by adding .mk to the base name of the target that is defined inside the specific make- file. MAKEPROG Set this macro to the name of your make program if(3,n) it does not support the macro MAKE_NAME. The make program smake is able to identify itself. If you want to use a make program that is not able to identify itself and it's name is not make, set(7,n,1 builtins) MAKEPROG to the name of the make program. Currently only gmake is supported as alternate value for MAKEPROG. If you want to use an unsupported make program you have to check if(3,n) it supports the needed features for makefiles. You must write(1,2) your own rule files for that make program. If you want to use gmake, you should do setenv MAKEPROG gmake before you start gmake or use a shell script that does this job for you. MAKE This macro is set(7,n,1 builtins) up by the make program. It contains a path name that is sufficient to recursively call the same make program again (either that last path component or the full path name of the make program). Do not change this macro.

Possible values for english manual pages are man(1,5,7) or share/man(1,5,7), possible values for german manual pages are man(1,5,7)/de or share/man(1,5,7)/de. MANFILE makefiles for manual pages set(7,n,1 builtins) this macro to the name of the troff source file(1,n) for the manual page MANSECT makefiles for manual pages set(7,n,1 builtins) this macro to the macro name that contains the real section name for this manual page. This is necessary because bsd based system have dif- ferent naming conventions than system V based systems. See below for a valid list of manual section macros.

MARCH this macro contains the machine architecture for the tar- get machine (e.g. sun3 sun4 ip22 i86pc i586 9000-725 avi- ion). It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the output of arch converted to lower case. On systems, where M_ARCH is not available, it is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the content of K_ARCH. Do not change this macro unless you want to do a cross compilation. O_ARCH this macro contains the name of the operating system con- verted to lower case. It is usually the output of: uname(1,2) -s. It may contain a modified name if(3,n) the compilation rules for different version(1,3,5) of the operating system differ (e.g. on SunOS and Solaris, the official operation system name in(1,8) both cases is SunOS). Do not change this macro. OARCH this macro contains the object architecture that is used for architecture dependent sub directories. It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to: $(PARCH)-$(O_ARCH)-$(C_ARCH). Do not change this macro. OARCHDIR this macro contains the concatenation of OBJ/ and $(OARCH). Do not change this macro. OFILES this macro contains the list of objects that are the the dependency list for the target. It is constructed from the list of assembler source files, c source files, lex source files and yacc source files. Do not change this macro. OINCSDIR this macro contains the concatenation of $(SRCROOT)/incs/ and $(OARCH). It is the location where include files that are made within a make run and subject to global use will be placed. Do not change this macro. OLIBSDIR this macro contains the concatenation of $(SRCROOT)/libs/ and $(OARCH). It is the location where libraries that are made within a make run will be placed. Do not change this macro. OSDEFS this macro contains operating system specific c-preproces- sor definitions. Do not change this macro. OSNAME the unmodified name of the operating system converted to lower case. See O_ARCH. Do not change this macro. OSREL the release of the operating system. Do not change this macro. P_ARCH this macro contains the processor architecture for the target machine (e.g. mc68020 mc88200 sparc pentium). It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the output of uname(1,2) -p converted to lower case. On systems, where P_ARCH is not available, it is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the content of K_ARCH. Do not change this macro. PARCH this macro contains the processor architecture for the target machine (e.g. mc68020 mc88200 sparc pentium). It is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the output of uname(1,2) -p converted to lower case. On systems, where P_ARCH is not available, it is set(7,n,1 builtins) to the content of K_ARCH. Do not change this macro unless you want to do a cross compilation. RULESDIR the value of this macro must be set(7,n,1 builtins) before the rules file(1,n) $(SRCROOT)/$(RULESDIR/rules.top is included. If you want to test the behavior of a modified version(1,3,5) of the make- files in(1,8) RULESDIR, put a copy into an alternate directory, modify one or more files in(1,8) it and then use make with a different value of RULESDIR, that points to the alternate directory. RUNPATH is evaluated on systems, where LD_RUN_PATH is supported. It contains the default library search path for dynamic linked targets on runtime. This search path will be stored inside the target. This is usually set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) the file(1,n) $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults or $(DEFLTS- ROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH). Note that older systems will use LD_LIBRARY_PATH for this purpose too. SCRFILE this macro must be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile for shell scripts to define the source for that script file. SRCFILE this macro must be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile for localized files to define the source for that file. SRCROOT this macro contains the relative position to the project's source root directory. The value of this macro must be set(7,n,1 builtins) before the rules file(1,n) $(SRCROOT)/$(RULESDIR/rules.top is included. SRCROOT should be set(7,n,1 builtins) to ../.. if(3,n) the appropriate leaf makefile is located two directory levels below the source route. SUBARCHDIR may be set(7,n,1 builtins) to put the object files and the target into a different directory than usual. SUBARCHDIR will modify the value of ARCHDIR. If you want to make a target that is compiled for dbx you may use: make COPTX=-g SUB- ARCHDIR=-dbx. TARGET all makefiles, that are not referring to library targets or sub makes / sub dir makes, must define TARGET to be the output file(1,n) name of the final link(1,2) operation. TARGETLIB all makefiles that are used to make libraries must define TARGETLIB to be the central part of the target library. If you want to make e.g. libfoo define TARGETLIB= foo. This is needed to allow operating systems to have differ- ent naming conventions for libraries. If you are making a non shared library, the example above would result in(1,8) a filename: libfoo.a for the real target. TARGETMAN this macro must be set(7,n,1 builtins) in(1,8) a leaf makefile for manual pages to define the base name for that manual page (not includ- ing the suffix). XMK_FILE makefiles that want to install manual pages should set(7,n,1 builtins) XMK_FILE to Makefile.man to avoid having to install a diversion make file. The make file(1,n) found in(1,8) XMK_FILE will be processed only if(3,n) make is called with the target install. GETTING STARTED To set(7,n,1 builtins) up a new project, first copy the RULES and TEMPLATES directories and all its content into the project's root directory. Then copy a top level makefile, a Defaults file(1,n) and a Targetdirs.arch- name file(1,n) into the project's root directory. Then create the following directories: cmd, lib, include. Now start creating target directories e.g below cmd and lib. Don't forget to create a makefile and an appropriate Targetdirs.archname file(1,n) on each node directory. EXAMPLES If you want to set(7,n,1 builtins) up a private copy of parts of a project, you should choose a directory inside your directory tree that will become the shadow(3,5) projects source root directory. Then create symbolic links named(5,8) RULES and TEMPLATES to the real source root. If you don't want to modify the global include files, create a symbolic link(1,2) to the include directory too, else copy the include directory and its content. copy the top level makefile, the Defaults file(1,n) and the Targetdirs.arch- name file. Finally copy the desired sub tree together with all makefiles and the Targetdirs.archname files that are located in(1,8) the directories above your part of the project that you want to have separately. FILES .../RULES/* .../DEFAULTS/* .../TARGETS/* .../TEMPLATES/* SEE ALSO makerules(4), make(1), gmake(1), smake(1). If you want to know, how to add new rules or how to add support for new operating systems or compilers look(1,8,3 Search::Dict) into makerules(4). DIAGNOSTICS Diagnostic messages depend on the make program. Have a look(1,8,3 Search::Dict) at the appropriate man(1,5,7) page. NOTES The scope of this manual is only the usage of leaf makefiles. If you want to make changes to the make rules have a look(1,8,3 Search::Dict) at makerules(4). makefiles can be used with Sunpro make, Gnu make and smake. Although Gnu make runs on many platforms, it has no useful debug output. Use Sunpro make or smake if(3,n) you have problems with a makefile. Sunpro make and smake, both have a -D flag, that allows you to watch the make- files after the first expansion. Use this option, if(3,n) you are in(1,8) doubt if(3,n) your makefile gets(3,n) expanded the right way and if(3,n) the right rules are included. There is also a -d option that gives debugging output while make is running. If you want more output, use -dd, -ddd and so on. Smake has an option -xM that shows you the include dependency for make rules. The following is a list of all macros that are used in(1,8) makefiles.
