----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update to GNU Make to 4.4.1 - this is the very last commit before all Amiga

support was removed from the code. Therefore this is likely the last update

we will ever see on the Amiga unless someone reinstates all of the changes.

I made a few updates to get everything working again on the Amiga since it

had not been built on the Amiga for some years. My changes are available

here:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is a pure Amiga port of GNU Make. It needs no extra libraries or

anything. It has the following features (in addition to any features of

GNU Make):

- Runs Amiga-Commands with SystemTags() (Execute)

- Can run multi-line statements

- Allows to use Device-Names in targets:

c:make : make.o

is ok. To distinguish between device-names and target : or ::, MAKE

looks for spaces. If there are any around :, it's taken as a target

delimiter, if there are none, it's taken as the name of a device. Note

that "make:make.o" tries to create "make.o" on the device "make:".

- Replaces @ at by a newline in any command line:

if exists make @ at \

delete make.bak quiet @ at \

rename make make.bak @ at \

endif @ at \

$(CC) Link Make.o To make

works. Note that the @ at must stand alone (i.e., "make@ at \" is illegal).

Also be careful that there is a space after the "\" (i.e., at the

beginning of the next line).

- Can be made resident to save space and time

- Amiga specific wildcards can be used in $(wildcard ...)

BUGS:

- The line

dummy.h : src/*.c

tries to make dummy.h from "src/*.c" (i.e., no wildcard-expansion takes

place). You have to use "$(wildcard src/*.c)" instead.

COMPILING FROM SCRATCH

----------------------

To recompile, you need SAS/C 6.51.

As of GNU Make 4.3, the build environment has been cleaned up and alternate

make files (including smakefiles) have been removed. If you have an existing

version of GNU Make available you _should_ be able to run:

make -f Basic.mk

However this is untested.

If you have an Amiga system and would like to collaborate on getting

bootstrapping to work properly please contact bug-make at gnu.org.

INSTALLATION

Copy make somewhere in your search path (e.g., sc:c or sc:bin).

If you plan to use recursive makes, install make resident:

Resident make Add
