Its input is a list of specifications as to the files upon which 15236769Sobrien programs and other files depend. If no --ff _m_a_k_e_f_i_l_e makefile option is 16236769Sobrien given, bbmmaakkee will try to open `_m_a_k_e_f_i_l_e' then `_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e' in order to find 17236769Sobrien the specifications. If the file `_._d_e_p_e_n_d' exists, it is read (see 18236769Sobrien mkdep(1)). 19236769Sobrien 20236769Sobrien This manual page is intended as a reference document only. For a more 21236769Sobrien thorough description of bbmmaakkee and makefiles, please refer to _P_M_a_k_e _- _A 22236769Sobrien _T_u_t_o_r_i_a_l. 23236769Sobrien 24236769Sobrien bbmmaakkee will prepend the contents of the _M_A_K_E_F_L_A_G_S environment variable to 25236769Sobrien the command line arguments before parsing them. 26236769Sobrien 27236769Sobrien The options are as follows: 28236769Sobrien 29236769Sobrien --BB Try to be backwards compatible by executing a single shell per 30236769Sobrien command and by executing the commands to make the sources of a 31236769Sobrien dependency line in sequence. 32236769Sobrien 33236769Sobrien --CC _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y 34236769Sobrien Change to _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y before reading the makefiles or doing any- 35236769Sobrien thing else. If multiple --CC options are specified, each is inter- 36236769Sobrien preted relative to the previous one: --CC _/ --CC _e_t_c is equivalent to 37236769Sobrien --CC _/_e_t_c. 38236769Sobrien 39236769Sobrien --DD _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e 40236769Sobrien Define _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e to be 1, in the global context. 41236769Sobrien 42236769Sobrien --dd _[_-_]_f_l_a_g_s 43236769Sobrien Turn on debugging, and specify which portions of bbmmaakkee are to 44236769Sobrien print debugging information. Unless the flags are preceded by 45236769Sobrien `-' they are added to the _M_A_K_E_F_L_A_G_S environment variable and will 46236769Sobrien be processed by any child make processes. By default, debugging 47236769Sobrien information is printed to standard error, but this can be changed 48236769Sobrien using the _F debugging flag. The debugging output is always 49236769Sobrien unbuffered; in addition, if debugging is enabled but debugging 50236769Sobrien output is not directed to standard output, then the standard out- 51236769Sobrien put is line buffered. _F_l_a_g_s is one or more of the following: 52236769Sobrien 53236769Sobrien _A Print all possible debugging information; equivalent to 54236769Sobrien specifying all of the debugging flags. 55236769Sobrien 56236769Sobrien _a Print debugging information about archive searching and 57236769Sobrien caching. 58236769Sobrien 59236769Sobrien _C Print debugging information about current working direc- 60236769Sobrien tory. 61236769Sobrien 62236769Sobrien _c Print debugging information about conditional evaluation. 63236769Sobrien 64236769Sobrien _d Print debugging information about directory searching and 65236769Sobrien caching. 66236769Sobrien 67236769Sobrien _e Print debugging information about failed commands and 68236769Sobrien targets. 69236769Sobrien 70236769Sobrien _F[++]_f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e 71236769Sobrien Specify where debugging output is written. This must be 72236769Sobrien the last flag, because it consumes the remainder of the 73236769Sobrien argument. If the character immediately after the `F' 74236769Sobrien flag is `+', then the file will be opened in append mode; 75236769Sobrien otherwise the file will be overwritten. If the file name 76236769Sobrien is `stdout' or `stderr' then debugging output will be 77236769Sobrien written to the standard output or standard error output 78236769Sobrien file descriptors respectively (and the `+' option has no 79236769Sobrien effect). Otherwise, the output will be written to the 80236769Sobrien named file. If the file name ends `.%d' then the `%d' is 81236769Sobrien replaced by the pid. 82236769Sobrien 83236769Sobrien _f Print debugging information about loop evaluation. 84236769Sobrien 85236769Sobrien _g_1 Print the input graph before making anything. 86236769Sobrien 87236769Sobrien _g_2 Print the input graph after making everything, or before 88236769Sobrien exiting on error. 89236769Sobrien 90236769Sobrien _g_3 Print the input graph before exiting on error. 91236769Sobrien 92236769Sobrien _j Print debugging information about running multiple 93236769Sobrien shells. 94236769Sobrien 95236769Sobrien _l Print commands in Makefiles regardless of whether or not 96236769Sobrien they are prefixed by `@' or other "quiet" flags. Also 97236769Sobrien known as "loud" behavior. 98236769Sobrien 99236769Sobrien _M Print debugging information about "meta" mode decisions 100236769Sobrien about targets. 101236769Sobrien 102236769Sobrien _m Print debugging information about making targets, includ- 103236769Sobrien ing modification dates. 104236769Sobrien 105236769Sobrien _n Don't delete the temporary command scripts created when 106236769Sobrien running commands. These temporary scripts are created in 107236769Sobrien the directory referred to by the TMPDIR environment vari- 108236769Sobrien able, or in _/_t_m_p if TMPDIR is unset or set to the empty 109236769Sobrien string. The temporary scripts are created by mkstemp(3), 110236769Sobrien and have names of the form _m_a_k_e_X_X_X_X_X_X. _N_O_T_E: This can 111236769Sobrien create many files in TMPDIR or _/_t_m_p, so use with care. 112236769Sobrien 113236769Sobrien _p Print debugging information about makefile parsing. 114236769Sobrien 115236769Sobrien _s Print debugging information about suffix-transformation 116236769Sobrien rules. 117236769Sobrien 118236769Sobrien _t Print debugging information about target list mainte- 119236769Sobrien nance. 120236769Sobrien 121240330Smarcel _V Force the --VV option to print raw values of variables. 122240330Smarcel 123236769Sobrien _v Print debugging information about variable assignment. 124236769Sobrien 125236769Sobrien _x Run shell commands with --xx so the actual commands are 126236769Sobrien printed as they are executed. 127236769Sobrien 128236769Sobrien --ee Specify that environment variables override macro assignments 129236769Sobrien within makefiles. 130236769Sobrien 131236769Sobrien --ff _m_a_k_e_f_i_l_e 132236769Sobrien Specify a makefile to read instead of the default `_m_a_k_e_f_i_l_e'. If 133236769Sobrien _m_a_k_e_f_i_l_e is `--', standard input is read. Multiple makefiles may 134236769Sobrien be specified, and are read in the order specified. 135236769Sobrien 136236769Sobrien --II _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y 137236769Sobrien Specify a directory in which to search for makefiles and included 138236769Sobrien makefiles. The system makefile directory (or directories, see 139236769Sobrien the --mm option) is automatically included as part of this list. 140236769Sobrien 141236769Sobrien --ii Ignore non-zero exit of shell commands in the makefile. Equiva- 142236769Sobrien lent to specifying `--' before each command line in the makefile. 143236769Sobrien 144236769Sobrien --JJ _p_r_i_v_a_t_e 145236769Sobrien This option should _n_o_t be specified by the user. 146236769Sobrien 147236769Sobrien When the _j option is in use in a recursive build, this option is 148236769Sobrien passed by a make to child makes to allow all the make processes 149236769Sobrien in the build to cooperate to avoid overloading the system. 150236769Sobrien 151236769Sobrien --jj _m_a_x___j_o_b_s 152236769Sobrien Specify the maximum number of jobs that bbmmaakkee may have running at 153236769Sobrien any one time. The value is saved in _._M_A_K_E_._J_O_B_S. Turns compati- 154236769Sobrien bility mode off, unless the _B flag is also specified. When com- 155236769Sobrien patibility mode is off, all commands associated with a target are 156236769Sobrien executed in a single shell invocation as opposed to the tradi- 157236769Sobrien tional one shell invocation per line. This can break traditional 158236769Sobrien scripts which change directories on each command invocation and 159236769Sobrien then expect to start with a fresh environment on the next line. 160236769Sobrien It is more efficient to correct the scripts rather than turn 161236769Sobrien backwards compatibility on. 162236769Sobrien 163236769Sobrien --kk Continue processing after errors are encountered, but only on 164236769Sobrien those targets that do not depend on the target whose creation 165236769Sobrien caused the error. 166236769Sobrien 167236769Sobrien --mm _d_i_r_e_c_t_o_r_y 168236769Sobrien Specify a directory in which to search for sys.mk and makefiles 169236769Sobrien included via the <_f_i_l_e>-style include statement. The --mm option 170236769Sobrien can be used multiple times to form a search path. This path will 171236769Sobrien override the default system include path: /usr/share/mk. Fur- 172236769Sobrien thermore the system include path will be appended to the search 173236769Sobrien path used for "_f_i_l_e"-style include statements (see the --II 174236769Sobrien option). 175236769Sobrien 176236769Sobrien If a file or directory name in the --mm argument (or the 177236769Sobrien MAKESYSPATH environment variable) starts with the string ".../" 178236769Sobrien then bbmmaakkee will search for the specified file or directory named 179236769Sobrien in the remaining part of the argument string. The search starts 180236769Sobrien with the current directory of the Makefile and then works upward 181296637Ssjg towards the root of the file system. If the search is success- 182296637Ssjg ful, then the resulting directory replaces the ".../" specifica- 183296637Ssjg tion in the --mm argument. If used, this feature allows bbmmaakkee to 184296637Ssjg easily search in the current source tree for customized sys.mk 185296637Ssjg files (e.g., by using ".../mk/sys.mk" as an argument). 186236769Sobrien 187236769Sobrien --nn Display the commands that would have been executed, but do not 188236769Sobrien actually execute them unless the target depends on the .MAKE spe- 189236769Sobrien cial source (see below). 190236769Sobrien 191236769Sobrien --NN Display the commands which would have been executed, but do not 192236769Sobrien actually execute any of them; useful for debugging top-level 193236769Sobrien makefiles without descending into subdirectories. 194236769Sobrien 195236769Sobrien --qq Do not execute any commands, but exit 0 if the specified targets 196236769Sobrien are up-to-date and 1, otherwise. 197236769Sobrien 198236769Sobrien --rr Do not use the built-in rules specified in the system makefile. 199236769Sobrien 200236769Sobrien --ss Do not echo any commands as they are executed. Equivalent to 201236769Sobrien specifying `@@' before each command line in the makefile. 202236769Sobrien 203236769Sobrien --TT _t_r_a_c_e_f_i_l_e 204236769Sobrien When used with the --jj flag, append a trace record to _t_r_a_c_e_f_i_l_e 205236769Sobrien for each job started and completed. 206236769Sobrien 207236769Sobrien --tt Rather than re-building a target as specified in the makefile, 208236769Sobrien create it or update its modification time to make it appear up- 209236769Sobrien to-date. 210236769Sobrien 211236769Sobrien --VV _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e 212236769Sobrien Print bbmmaakkee's idea of the value of _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e, in the global con- 213236769Sobrien text. Do not build any targets. Multiple instances of this 214236769Sobrien option may be specified; the variables will be printed one per 215236769Sobrien line, with a blank line for each null or undefined variable. If 216236769Sobrien _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e contains a `$' then the value will be expanded before 217236769Sobrien printing. 218236769Sobrien 219236769Sobrien --WW Treat any warnings during makefile parsing as errors. 220236769Sobrien 221281812Ssjg --ww Print entering and leaving directory messages, pre and post pro- 222281812Ssjg cessing. 223281812Ssjg 224236769Sobrien --XX Don't export variables passed on the command line to the environ- 225236769Sobrien ment individually. Variables passed on the command line are 226236769Sobrien still exported via the _M_A_K_E_F_L_A_G_S environment variable. This 227236769Sobrien option may be useful on systems which have a small limit on the 228236769Sobrien size of command arguments. 229236769Sobrien 230236769Sobrien _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e_=_v_a_l_u_e 231236769Sobrien Set the value of the variable _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e to _v_a_l_u_e. Normally, all 232236769Sobrien values passed on the command line are also exported to sub-makes 233236769Sobrien in the environment. The --XX flag disables this behavior. Vari- 234236769Sobrien able assignments should follow options for POSIX compatibility 235236769Sobrien but no ordering is enforced. 236236769Sobrien 237236769Sobrien There are seven different types of lines in a makefile: file dependency 238236769Sobrien specifications, shell commands, variable assignments, include statements, 239236769Sobrien conditional directives, for loops, and comments. 240236769Sobrien 241236769Sobrien In general, lines may be continued from one line to the next by ending 242236769Sobrien them with a backslash (`\'). The trailing newline character and initial 243236769Sobrien whitespace on the following line are compressed into a single space. 244236769Sobrien 245236769SobrienFFIILLEE DDEEPPEENNDDEENNCCYY SSPPEECCIIFFIICCAATTIIOONNSS 246236769Sobrien Dependency lines consist of one or more targets, an operator, and zero or 247236769Sobrien more sources. This creates a relationship where the targets ``depend'' 248236769Sobrien on the sources and are usually created from them. The exact relationship 249236769Sobrien between the target and the source is determined by the operator that sep- 250236769Sobrien arates them. The three operators are as follows: 251236769Sobrien 252236769Sobrien :: A target is considered out-of-date if its modification time is less 253236769Sobrien than those of any of its sources. Sources for a target accumulate 254236769Sobrien over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target is 255236769Sobrien removed if bbmmaakkee is interrupted. 256236769Sobrien 257236769Sobrien !! Targets are always re-created, but not until all sources have been 258236769Sobrien examined and re-created as necessary. Sources for a target accumu- 259236769Sobrien late over dependency lines when this operator is used. The target 260236769Sobrien is removed if bbmmaakkee is interrupted. 261236769Sobrien 262236769Sobrien :::: If no sources are specified, the target is always re-created. Oth- 263236769Sobrien erwise, a target is considered out-of-date if any of its sources 264236769Sobrien has been modified more recently than the target. Sources for a 265236769Sobrien target do not accumulate over dependency lines when this operator 266236769Sobrien is used. The target will not be removed if bbmmaakkee is interrupted. 267236769Sobrien 268236769Sobrien Targets and sources may contain the shell wildcard values `?', `*', `[]', 269236769Sobrien and `{}'. The values `?', `*', and `[]' may only be used as part of the 270236769Sobrien final component of the target or source, and must be used to describe 271236769Sobrien existing files. The value `{}' need not necessarily be used to describe 272236769Sobrien existing files. Expansion is in directory order, not alphabetically as 273236769Sobrien done in the shell. 274236769Sobrien 275236769SobrienSSHHEELLLL CCOOMMMMAANNDDSS 276281812Ssjg Each target may have associated with it one or more lines of shell com- 277281812Ssjg mands, normally used to create the target. Each of the lines in this 278281812Ssjg script _m_u_s_t be preceded by a tab. (For historical reasons, spaces are 279281812Ssjg not accepted.) While targets can appear in many dependency lines if 280281812Ssjg desired, by default only one of these rules may be followed by a creation 281281812Ssjg script. If the `::::' operator is used, however, all rules may include 282281812Ssjg scripts and the scripts are executed in the order found. 283236769Sobrien 284281812Ssjg Each line is treated as a separate shell command, unless the end of line 285281812Ssjg is escaped with a backslash (`\') in which case that line and the next 286281812Ssjg are combined. If the first characters of the command are any combination 287281812Ssjg of `@@', `++', or `--', the command is treated specially. A `@@' causes the 288281812Ssjg command not to be echoed before it is executed. A `++' causes the command 289281812Ssjg to be executed even when --nn is given. This is similar to the effect of 290281812Ssjg the .MAKE special source, except that the effect can be limited to a sin- 291281812Ssjg gle line of a script. A `--' in compatibility mode causes any non-zero 292281812Ssjg exit status of the command line to be ignored. 293236769Sobrien 294246223Ssjg When bbmmaakkee is run in jobs mode with --jj _m_a_x___j_o_b_s, the entire script for 295281812Ssjg the target is fed to a single instance of the shell. In compatibility 296281812Ssjg (non-jobs) mode, each command is run in a separate process. If the com- 297281812Ssjg mand contains any shell meta characters (`#=|^(){};&<>*?[]:$`\\n') it 298281812Ssjg will be passed to the shell; otherwise bbmmaakkee will attempt direct execu- 299281812Ssjg tion. If a line starts with `--' and the shell has ErrCtl enabled then 300281812Ssjg failure of the command line will be ignored as in compatibility mode. 301281812Ssjg Otherwise `--' affects the entire job; the script will stop at the first 302281812Ssjg command line that fails, but the target will not be deemed to have 303281812Ssjg failed. 304246223Ssjg 305246223Ssjg Makefiles should be written so that the mode of bbmmaakkee operation does not 306246223Ssjg change their behavior. For example, any command which needs to use 307281812Ssjg ``cd'' or ``chdir'' without potentially changing the directory for subse- 308281812Ssjg quent commands should be put in parentheses so it executes in a subshell. 309281812Ssjg To force the use of one shell, escape the line breaks so as to make the 310281812Ssjg whole script one command. For example: 311246223Ssjg 312246223Ssjg avoid-chdir-side-effects: 313246223Ssjg @echo Building $@ in `pwd` 314281812Ssjg @(cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} $@) 315246223Ssjg @echo Back in `pwd` 316246223Ssjg 317246223Ssjg ensure-one-shell-regardless-of-mode: 318246223Ssjg @echo Building $@ in `pwd`; \ 319281812Ssjg (cd ${.CURDIR} && ${MAKE} $@); \ 320246223Ssjg echo Back in `pwd` 321246223Ssjg 322281812Ssjg Since bbmmaakkee will chdir(2) to `_._O_B_J_D_I_R' before executing any targets, each 323281812Ssjg child process starts with that as its current working directory. 324281812Ssjg 325236769SobrienVVAARRIIAABBLLEE AASSSSIIGGNNMMEENNTTSS 326236769Sobrien Variables in make are much like variables in the shell, and, by tradi- 327236769Sobrien tion, consist of all upper-case letters. 328236769Sobrien 329236769Sobrien VVaarriiaabbllee aassssiiggnnmmeenntt mmooddiiffiieerrss 330236769Sobrien The five operators that can be used to assign values to variables are as 331236769Sobrien follows: 332236769Sobrien 333236769Sobrien == Assign the value to the variable. Any previous value is overrid- 334236769Sobrien den. 335236769Sobrien 336236769Sobrien ++== Append the value to the current value of the variable. 337236769Sobrien 338236769Sobrien ??== Assign the value to the variable if it is not already defined. 339236769Sobrien 340236769Sobrien ::== Assign with expansion, i.e. expand the value before assigning it 341236769Sobrien to the variable. Normally, expansion is not done until the vari- 342236769Sobrien able is referenced. _N_O_T_E: References to undefined variables are 343236769Sobrien _n_o_t expanded. This can cause problems when variable modifiers 344236769Sobrien are used. 345236769Sobrien 346236769Sobrien !!== Expand the value and pass it to the shell for execution and 347236769Sobrien assign the result to the variable. Any newlines in the result 348236769Sobrien are replaced with spaces. 349236769Sobrien 350236769Sobrien Any white-space before the assigned _v_a_l_u_e is removed; if the value is 351236769Sobrien being appended, a single space is inserted between the previous contents 352236769Sobrien of the variable and the appended value. 353236769Sobrien 354236769Sobrien Variables are expanded by surrounding the variable name with either curly 355236769Sobrien braces (`{}') or parentheses (`()') and preceding it with a dollar sign 356236769Sobrien (`$'). If the variable name contains only a single letter, the surround- 357236769Sobrien ing braces or parentheses are not required. This shorter form is not 358236769Sobrien recommended. 359236769Sobrien 360236769Sobrien If the variable name contains a dollar, then the name itself is expanded 361236769Sobrien first. This allows almost arbitrary variable names, however names con- 362236769Sobrien taining dollar, braces, parenthesis, or whitespace are really best 363236769Sobrien avoided! 364236769Sobrien 365236769Sobrien If the result of expanding a variable contains a dollar sign (`$') the 366236769Sobrien string is expanded again. 367236769Sobrien 368236769Sobrien Variable substitution occurs at three distinct times, depending on where 369236769Sobrien the variable is being used. 370236769Sobrien 371236769Sobrien 1. Variables in dependency lines are expanded as the line is read. 372236769Sobrien 373236769Sobrien 2. Variables in shell commands are expanded when the shell command is 374236769Sobrien executed. 375236769Sobrien 376236769Sobrien 3. ``.for'' loop index variables are expanded on each loop iteration. 377236769Sobrien Note that other variables are not expanded inside loops so the fol- 378236769Sobrien lowing example code: 379236769Sobrien 380236769Sobrien 381236769Sobrien .for i in 1 2 3 382236769Sobrien a+= ${i} 383236769Sobrien j= ${i} 384236769Sobrien b+= ${j} 385236769Sobrien .endfor 386236769Sobrien 387236769Sobrien all: 388236769Sobrien @echo ${a} 389236769Sobrien @echo ${b} 390236769Sobrien 391236769Sobrien will print: 392236769Sobrien 393236769Sobrien 1 2 3 394236769Sobrien 3 3 3 395236769Sobrien 396236769Sobrien Because while ${a} contains ``1 2 3'' after the loop is executed, 397236769Sobrien ${b} contains ``${j} ${j} ${j}'' which expands to ``3 3 3'' since 398236769Sobrien after the loop completes ${j} contains ``3''. 399236769Sobrien 400236769Sobrien VVaarriiaabbllee ccllaasssseess 401236769Sobrien The four different classes of variables (in order of increasing prece- 402236769Sobrien dence) are: 403236769Sobrien 404236769Sobrien Environment variables 405236769Sobrien Variables defined as part of bbmmaakkee's environment. 406236769Sobrien 407236769Sobrien Global variables 408236769Sobrien Variables defined in the makefile or in included makefiles. 409236769Sobrien 410236769Sobrien Command line variables 411236769Sobrien Variables defined as part of the command line. 412236769Sobrien 413236769Sobrien Local variables 414281812Ssjg Variables that are defined specific to a certain target. 415236769Sobrien 416281812Ssjg Local variables are all built in and their values vary magically from 417281812Ssjg target to target. It is not currently possible to define new local vari- 418281812Ssjg ables. The seven local variables are as follows: 419236769Sobrien 420281812Ssjg _._A_L_L_S_R_C The list of all sources for this target; also known as 421281812Ssjg `_>'. 422236769Sobrien 423281812Ssjg _._A_R_C_H_I_V_E The name of the archive file; also known as `_!'. 424236769Sobrien 425281812Ssjg _._I_M_P_S_R_C In suffix-transformation rules, the name/path of the 426281812Ssjg source from which the target is to be transformed (the 427281812Ssjg ``implied'' source); also known as `_<'. It is not 428281812Ssjg defined in explicit rules. 429236769Sobrien 430281812Ssjg _._M_E_M_B_E_R The name of the archive member; also known as `_%'. 431236769Sobrien 432281812Ssjg _._O_O_D_A_T_E The list of sources for this target that were deemed out- 433281812Ssjg of-date; also known as `_?'. 434236769Sobrien 435281812Ssjg _._P_R_E_F_I_X The file prefix of the target, containing only the file 436281812Ssjg portion, no suffix or preceding directory components; 437281812Ssjg also known as `_*'. The suffix must be one of the known 438281812Ssjg suffixes declared with ..SSUUFFFFIIXXEESS or it will not be recog- 439281812Ssjg nized. 440236769Sobrien 441297040Ssjg _._T_A_R_G_E_T The name of the target; also known as `_@'. For compati- 442297040Ssjg bility with other makes this is an alias for ..AARRCCHHIIVVEE in 443297040Ssjg archive member rules. 444236769Sobrien 445281812Ssjg The shorter forms (`_>', `_!', `_<', `_%', `_?', `_*', and `_@') are permitted 446281812Ssjg for backward compatibility with historical makefiles and legacy POSIX 447281812Ssjg make and are not recommended. 448236769Sobrien 449281812Ssjg Variants of these variables with the punctuation followed immediately by 450281812Ssjg `D' or `F', e.g. `_$_(_@_D_)', are legacy forms equivalent to using the `:H' 451281812Ssjg and `:T' modifiers. These forms are accepted for compatibility with AT&T 452281812Ssjg System V UNIX makefiles and POSIX but are not recommended. 453281812Ssjg 454281812Ssjg Four of the local variables may be used in sources on dependency lines 455281812Ssjg because they expand to the proper value for each target on the line. 456281812Ssjg These variables are `_._T_A_R_G_E_T', `_._P_R_E_F_I_X', `_._A_R_C_H_I_V_E', and `_._M_E_M_B_E_R'. 457281812Ssjg 458236769Sobrien AAddddiittiioonnaall bbuuiilltt--iinn vvaarriiaabblleess 459236769Sobrien In addition, bbmmaakkee sets or knows about the following variables: 460236769Sobrien 461236769Sobrien _$ A single dollar sign `$', i.e. `$$' expands to a single 462236769Sobrien dollar sign. 463236769Sobrien 464236769Sobrien _._A_L_L_T_A_R_G_E_T_S The list of all targets encountered in the Makefile. If 465236769Sobrien evaluated during Makefile parsing, lists only those tar- 466236769Sobrien gets encountered thus far. 467236769Sobrien 468236769Sobrien _._C_U_R_D_I_R A path to the directory where bbmmaakkee was executed. Refer 469236769Sobrien to the description of `PWD' for more details. 470236769Sobrien 471268437Ssjg _._I_N_C_L_U_D_E_D_F_R_O_M_D_I_R 472268437Ssjg The directory of the file this Makefile was included 473268437Ssjg from. 474268437Ssjg 475268437Ssjg _._I_N_C_L_U_D_E_D_F_R_O_M_F_I_L_E 476268437Ssjg The filename of the file this Makefile was included from. 477268437Ssjg 478236769Sobrien MAKE The name that bbmmaakkee was executed with (_a_r_g_v_[_0_]). For 479236769Sobrien compatibility bbmmaakkee also sets _._M_A_K_E with the same value. 480236769Sobrien The preferred variable to use is the environment variable 481236769Sobrien MAKE because it is more compatible with other versions of 482236769Sobrien bbmmaakkee and cannot be confused with the special target with 483236769Sobrien the same name. 484236769Sobrien 485236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._D_E_P_E_N_D_F_I_L_E 486236769Sobrien Names the makefile (default `_._d_e_p_e_n_d') from which gener- 487236769Sobrien ated dependencies are read. 488236769Sobrien 489240330Smarcel _._M_A_K_E_._E_X_P_A_N_D___V_A_R_I_A_B_L_E_S 490240330Smarcel A boolean that controls the default behavior of the --VV 491240330Smarcel option. 492240330Smarcel 493236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._E_X_P_O_R_T_E_D The list of variables exported by bbmmaakkee. 494236769Sobrien 495236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._J_O_B_S The argument to the --jj option. 496236769Sobrien 497236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._J_O_B_._P_R_E_F_I_X 498236769Sobrien If bbmmaakkee is run with _j then output for each target is 499236769Sobrien prefixed with a token `--- target ---' the first part of 500253883Ssjg which can be controlled via _._M_A_K_E_._J_O_B_._P_R_E_F_I_X. If 501253883Ssjg _._M_A_K_E_._J_O_B_._P_R_E_F_I_X is empty, no token is printed. 502236769Sobrien For example: 503236769Sobrien .MAKE.JOB.PREFIX=${.newline}---${.MAKE:T}[${.MAKE.PID}] 504236769Sobrien would produce tokens like `---make[1234] target ---' mak- 505236769Sobrien ing it easier to track the degree of parallelism being 506236769Sobrien achieved. 507236769Sobrien 508236769Sobrien MAKEFLAGS The environment variable `MAKEFLAGS' may contain anything 509236769Sobrien that may be specified on bbmmaakkee's command line. Anything 510236769Sobrien specified on bbmmaakkee's command line is appended to the 511236769Sobrien `MAKEFLAGS' variable which is then entered into the envi- 512236769Sobrien ronment for all programs which bbmmaakkee executes. 513236769Sobrien 514236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._L_E_V_E_L The recursion depth of bbmmaakkee. The initial instance of 515236769Sobrien bbmmaakkee will be 0, and an incremented value is put into the 516236769Sobrien environment to be seen by the next generation. This 517236769Sobrien allows tests like: .if ${.MAKE.LEVEL} == 0 to protect 518236769Sobrien things which should only be evaluated in the initial 519236769Sobrien instance of bbmmaakkee. 520236769Sobrien 521236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_A_K_E_F_I_L_E___P_R_E_F_E_R_E_N_C_E 522236769Sobrien The ordered list of makefile names (default `_m_a_k_e_f_i_l_e', 523236769Sobrien `_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e') that bbmmaakkee will look for. 524236769Sobrien 525236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_A_K_E_F_I_L_E_S 526236769Sobrien The list of makefiles read by bbmmaakkee, which is useful for 527236769Sobrien tracking dependencies. Each makefile is recorded only 528236769Sobrien once, regardless of the number of times read. 529236769Sobrien 530236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_O_D_E Processed after reading all makefiles. Can affect the 531236769Sobrien mode that bbmmaakkee runs in. It can contain a number of key- 532236769Sobrien words: 533236769Sobrien 534301462Ssjg _c_o_m_p_a_t Like --BB, puts bbmmaakkee into "compat" 535301462Ssjg mode. 536236769Sobrien 537301462Ssjg _m_e_t_a Puts bbmmaakkee into "meta" mode, where 538301462Ssjg meta files are created for each tar- 539301462Ssjg get to capture the command run, the 540301462Ssjg output generated and if filemon(4) 541301462Ssjg is available, the system calls which 542301462Ssjg are of interest to bbmmaakkee. The cap- 543301462Ssjg tured output can be very useful when 544301462Ssjg diagnosing errors. 545236769Sobrien 546301462Ssjg _c_u_r_d_i_r_O_k_= _b_f Normally bbmmaakkee will not create .meta 547301462Ssjg files in `_._C_U_R_D_I_R'. This can be 548301462Ssjg overridden by setting _b_f to a value 549301462Ssjg which represents True. 550236769Sobrien 551301462Ssjg _m_i_s_s_i_n_g_-_m_e_t_a_= _b_f If _b_f is True, then a missing .meta 552301462Ssjg file makes the target out-of-date. 553236769Sobrien 554301462Ssjg _m_i_s_s_i_n_g_-_f_i_l_e_m_o_n_= _b_f If _b_f is True, then missing filemon 555301462Ssjg data makes the target out-of-date. 556236769Sobrien 557301462Ssjg _n_o_f_i_l_e_m_o_n Do not use filemon(4). 558236769Sobrien 559301462Ssjg _e_n_v For debugging, it can be useful to 560301462Ssjg include the environment in the .meta 561301462Ssjg file. 562236769Sobrien 563301462Ssjg _v_e_r_b_o_s_e If in "meta" mode, print a clue 564301462Ssjg about the target being built. This 565301462Ssjg is useful if the build is otherwise 566301462Ssjg running silently. The message 567301462Ssjg printed the value of: 568301462Ssjg _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._P_R_E_F_I_X. 569301462Ssjg 570301462Ssjg _i_g_n_o_r_e_-_c_m_d Some makefiles have commands which 571301462Ssjg are simply not stable. This keyword 572301462Ssjg causes them to be ignored for deter- 573301462Ssjg mining whether a target is out of 574301462Ssjg date in "meta" mode. See also 575301462Ssjg ..NNOOMMEETTAA__CCMMPP. 576301462Ssjg 577301462Ssjg _s_i_l_e_n_t_= _b_f If _b_f is True, when a .meta file is 578301462Ssjg created, mark the target ..SSIILLEENNTT. 579301462Ssjg 580236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._B_A_I_L_I_W_I_C_K 581236769Sobrien In "meta" mode, provides a list of prefixes which match 582236769Sobrien the directories controlled by bbmmaakkee. If a file that was 583236769Sobrien generated outside of _._O_B_J_D_I_R but within said bailiwick is 584236769Sobrien missing, the current target is considered out-of-date. 585236769Sobrien 586236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._C_R_E_A_T_E_D 587236769Sobrien In "meta" mode, this variable contains a list of all the 588236769Sobrien meta files updated. If not empty, it can be used to 589236769Sobrien trigger processing of _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._F_I_L_E_S. 590236769Sobrien 591236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._F_I_L_E_S 592236769Sobrien In "meta" mode, this variable contains a list of all the 593236769Sobrien meta files used (updated or not). This list can be used 594236769Sobrien to process the meta files to extract dependency informa- 595236769Sobrien tion. 596236769Sobrien 597253883Ssjg _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._I_G_N_O_R_E___P_A_T_H_S 598253883Ssjg Provides a list of path prefixes that should be ignored; 599253883Ssjg because the contents are expected to change over time. 600253883Ssjg The default list includes: `_/_d_e_v _/_e_t_c _/_p_r_o_c _/_t_m_p _/_v_a_r_/_r_u_n 601253883Ssjg _/_v_a_r_/_t_m_p' 602253883Ssjg 603300313Ssjg _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._I_G_N_O_R_E___P_A_T_T_E_R_N_S 604300313Ssjg Provides a list of patterns to match against pathnames. 605300313Ssjg Ignore any that match. 606300313Ssjg 607236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._M_E_T_A_._P_R_E_F_I_X 608236769Sobrien Defines the message printed for each meta file updated in 609236769Sobrien "meta verbose" mode. The default value is: 610236769Sobrien Building ${.TARGET:H:tA}/${.TARGET:T} 611236769Sobrien 612236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_O_V_E_R_R_I_D_E_S This variable is used to record the names of variables 613236769Sobrien assigned to on the command line, so that they may be 614296637Ssjg exported as part of `MAKEFLAGS'. This behavior can be 615236769Sobrien disabled by assigning an empty value to `_._M_A_K_E_O_V_E_R_R_I_D_E_S' 616236769Sobrien within a makefile. Extra variables can be exported from 617236769Sobrien a makefile by appending their names to `_._M_A_K_E_O_V_E_R_R_I_D_E_S'. 618236769Sobrien `MAKEFLAGS' is re-exported whenever `_._M_A_K_E_O_V_E_R_R_I_D_E_S' is 619236769Sobrien modified. 620236769Sobrien 621249033Ssjg _._M_A_K_E_._P_A_T_H___F_I_L_E_M_O_N 622249033Ssjg If bbmmaakkee was built with filemon(4) support, this is set 623249033Ssjg to the path of the device node. This allows makefiles to 624249033Ssjg test for this support. 625249033Ssjg 626236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._P_I_D The process-id of bbmmaakkee. 627236769Sobrien 628236769Sobrien _._M_A_K_E_._P_P_I_D The parent process-id of bbmmaakkee. 629236769Sobrien 630296637Ssjg _._M_A_K_E_._S_A_V_E___D_O_L_L_A_R_S 631296637Ssjg value should be a boolean that controls whether `$$' are 632296637Ssjg preserved when doing `:=' assignments. The default is 633296637Ssjg false, for backwards compatibility. Set to true for com- 634296637Ssjg patability with other makes. If set to false, `$$' 635296637Ssjg becomes `$' per normal evaluation rules. 636296637Ssjg 637236769Sobrien _M_A_K_E___P_R_I_N_T___V_A_R___O_N___E_R_R_O_R 638236769Sobrien When bbmmaakkee stops due to an error, it prints its name and 639236769Sobrien the value of `_._C_U_R_D_I_R' as well as the value of any vari- 640236769Sobrien ables named in `_M_A_K_E___P_R_I_N_T___V_A_R___O_N___E_R_R_O_R'. 641236769Sobrien 642236769Sobrien _._n_e_w_l_i_n_e This variable is simply assigned a newline character as 643236769Sobrien its value. This allows expansions using the ::@@ modifier 644236769Sobrien to put a newline between iterations of the loop rather 645236769Sobrien than a space. For example, the printing of 646236769Sobrien `_M_A_K_E___P_R_I_N_T___V_A_R___O_N___E_R_R_O_R' could be done as 647236769Sobrien ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@}. 648236769Sobrien 649236769Sobrien _._O_B_J_D_I_R A path to the directory where the targets are built.

This is especially useful with 675236769Sobrien `MAKEOBJDIR'. 676236769Sobrien 677284254Ssjg `_._O_B_J_D_I_R' may be modified in the makefile via the special 678284254Ssjg target `..OOBBJJDDIIRR'. In all cases, bbmmaakkee will chdir(2) to 679284254Ssjg the specified directory if it exists, and set `_._O_B_J_D_I_R' 680284254Ssjg and `PWD' to that directory before executing any targets. 681236769Sobrien 682236769Sobrien _._P_A_R_S_E_D_I_R A path to the directory of the current `_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e' being 683236769Sobrien parsed. 684236769Sobrien 685236769Sobrien _._P_A_R_S_E_F_I_L_E The basename of the current `_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e' being parsed. 686236769Sobrien This variable and `_._P_A_R_S_E_D_I_R' are both set only while the 687236769Sobrien `_M_a_k_e_f_i_l_e_s' are being parsed. If you want to retain 688236769Sobrien their current values, assign them to a variable using 689236769Sobrien assignment with expansion: (`::=='). 690236769Sobrien 691236769Sobrien _._P_A_T_H A variable that represents the list of directories that 692236769Sobrien bbmmaakkee will search for files. The search list should be 693236769Sobrien updated using the target `_._P_A_T_H' rather than the vari- 694236769Sobrien able. 695236769Sobrien 696236769Sobrien PWD Alternate path to the current directory. bbmmaakkee normally 697236769Sobrien sets `_._C_U_R_D_I_R' to the canonical path given by getcwd(3). 698236769Sobrien However, if the environment variable `PWD' is set and 699236769Sobrien gives a path to the current directory, then bbmmaakkee sets 700296637Ssjg `_._C_U_R_D_I_R' to the value of `PWD' instead. This behavior 701236769Sobrien is disabled if `MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX' is set or `MAKEOBJDIR' 702236769Sobrien contains a variable transform. `PWD' is set to the value 703236769Sobrien of `_._O_B_J_D_I_R' for all programs which bbmmaakkee executes. 704236769Sobrien 705236769Sobrien .TARGETS The list of targets explicitly specified on the command 706236769Sobrien line, if any. 707236769Sobrien 708236769Sobrien VPATH Colon-separated (``:'') lists of directories that bbmmaakkee 709236769Sobrien will search for files. The variable is supported for 710236769Sobrien compatibility with old make programs only, use `_._P_A_T_H' 711236769Sobrien instead. 712236769Sobrien 713236769Sobrien VVaarriiaabbllee mmooddiiffiieerrss 714236769Sobrien Variable expansion may be modified to select or modify each word of the 715236769Sobrien variable (where a ``word'' is white-space delimited sequence of charac- 716236769Sobrien ters). The general format of a variable expansion is as follows: 717236769Sobrien 718236769Sobrien ${variable[:modifier[:...]]} 719236769Sobrien 720236769Sobrien Each modifier begins with a colon, which may be escaped with a backslash 721236769Sobrien (`\'). 722236769Sobrien 723236769Sobrien A set of modifiers can be specified via a variable, as follows: 724236769Sobrien 725236769Sobrien modifier_variable=modifier[:...] 726236769Sobrien ${variable:${modifier_variable}[:...]} 727236769Sobrien 728236769Sobrien In this case the first modifier in the modifier_variable does not start 729236769Sobrien with a colon, since that must appear in the referencing variable. If any 730236769Sobrien of the modifiers in the modifier_variable contain a dollar sign (`$'), 731236769Sobrien these must be doubled to avoid early expansion. 732236769Sobrien 733236769Sobrien The supported modifiers are: 734236769Sobrien 735236769Sobrien ::EE Replaces each word in the variable with its suffix. 736236769Sobrien 737236769Sobrien ::HH Replaces each word in the variable with everything but the last com- 738236769Sobrien ponent. 739236769Sobrien 740236769Sobrien ::MM_p_a_t_t_e_r_n 741236769Sobrien Select only those words that match _p_a_t_t_e_r_n. The standard shell 742236769Sobrien wildcard characters (`*', `?', and `[]') may be used. The wildcard 743261212Ssjg characters may be escaped with a backslash (`\'). As a consequence 744261212Ssjg of the way values are split into words, matched, and then joined, a 745261212Ssjg construct like 746261212Ssjg ${VAR:M*} 747296637Ssjg will normalize the inter-word spacing, removing all leading and 748261212Ssjg trailing space, and converting multiple consecutive spaces to single 749261212Ssjg spaces. 750236769Sobrien 751236769Sobrien ::NN_p_a_t_t_e_r_n 752236769Sobrien This is identical to `::MM', but selects all words which do not match 753236769Sobrien _p_a_t_t_e_r_n. 754236769Sobrien 755236769Sobrien ::OO Order every word in variable alphabetically. To sort words in 756236769Sobrien reverse order use the `::OO::[[--11....11]]' combination of modifiers. 757236769Sobrien 758236769Sobrien ::OOxx Randomize words in variable. The results will be different each 759236769Sobrien time you are referring to the modified variable; use the assignment 760296637Ssjg with expansion (`::==') to prevent such behavior. For example, 761236769Sobrien 762236769Sobrien LIST= uno due tre quattro 763236769Sobrien RANDOM_LIST= ${LIST:Ox} 764236769Sobrien STATIC_RANDOM_LIST:= ${LIST:Ox} 765236769Sobrien 766236769Sobrien all: 767236769Sobrien @echo "${RANDOM_LIST}" 768236769Sobrien @echo "${RANDOM_LIST}" 769236769Sobrien @echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}" 770236769Sobrien @echo "${STATIC_RANDOM_LIST}" 771236769Sobrien may produce output similar to: 772236769Sobrien 773236769Sobrien quattro due tre uno 774236769Sobrien tre due quattro uno 775236769Sobrien due uno quattro tre 776236769Sobrien due uno quattro tre 777236769Sobrien 778236769Sobrien ::QQ Quotes every shell meta-character in the variable, so that it can be 779236769Sobrien passed safely through recursive invocations of bbmmaakkee. 780236769Sobrien 781236769Sobrien ::RR Replaces each word in the variable with everything but its suffix. 782236769Sobrien 783236769Sobrien ::ggmmttiimmee 784236769Sobrien The value is a format string for strftime(3), using the current 785236769Sobrien gmtime(3). 786236769Sobrien 787236769Sobrien ::hhaasshh 788296637Ssjg Compute a 32-bit hash of the value and encode it as hex digits. 789236769Sobrien 790236769Sobrien ::llooccaallttiimmee 791236769Sobrien The value is a format string for strftime(3), using the current 792236769Sobrien localtime(3). 793236769Sobrien 794236769Sobrien ::ttAA Attempt to convert variable to an absolute path using realpath(3), 795236769Sobrien if that fails, the value is unchanged. 796236769Sobrien 797236769Sobrien ::ttll Converts variable to lower-case letters. 798236769Sobrien 799236769Sobrien ::ttss_c 800236769Sobrien Words in the variable are normally separated by a space on expan- 801236769Sobrien sion. This modifier sets the separator to the character _c. If _c is 802236769Sobrien omitted, then no separator is used. The common escapes (including 803236769Sobrien octal numeric codes), work as expected. 804236769Sobrien 805236769Sobrien ::ttuu Converts variable to upper-case letters. 806236769Sobrien 807236769Sobrien ::ttWW Causes the value to be treated as a single word (possibly containing 808236769Sobrien embedded white space). See also `::[[**]]'. 809236769Sobrien 810236769Sobrien ::ttww Causes the value to be treated as a sequence of words delimited by 811236769Sobrien white space. See also `::[[@@]]'. 812236769Sobrien 813236769Sobrien ::SS/_o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g/_n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g/[11ggWW] 814236769Sobrien Modify the first occurrence of _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g in the variable's value, 815236769Sobrien replacing it with _n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g. If a `g' is appended to the last 816236769Sobrien slash of the pattern, all occurrences in each word are replaced. If 817236769Sobrien a `1' is appended to the last slash of the pattern, only the first 818236769Sobrien word is affected. If a `W' is appended to the last slash of the 819236769Sobrien pattern, then the value is treated as a single word (possibly con- 820236769Sobrien taining embedded white space). If _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g begins with a caret 821236769Sobrien (`^'), _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g is anchored at the beginning of each word. If 822236769Sobrien _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g ends with a dollar sign (`$'), it is anchored at the end 823236769Sobrien of each word. Inside _n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g, an ampersand (`&') is replaced by 824236769Sobrien _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g (without any `^' or `$'). Any character may be used as a 825236769Sobrien delimiter for the parts of the modifier string. The anchoring, 826236769Sobrien ampersand and delimiter characters may be escaped with a backslash 827236769Sobrien (`\'). 828236769Sobrien 829236769Sobrien Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both 830236769Sobrien _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g and _n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g with the single exception that a backslash 831236769Sobrien is used to prevent the expansion of a dollar sign (`$'), not a pre- 832236769Sobrien ceding dollar sign as is usual. 833236769Sobrien 834236769Sobrien ::CC/_p_a_t_t_e_r_n/_r_e_p_l_a_c_e_m_e_n_t/[11ggWW] 835236769Sobrien The ::CC modifier is just like the ::SS modifier except that the old and 836261212Ssjg new strings, instead of being simple strings, are an extended regu- 837261212Ssjg lar expression (see regex(3)) string _p_a_t_t_e_r_n and an ed(1)-style 838261212Ssjg string _r_e_p_l_a_c_e_m_e_n_t. Normally, the first occurrence of the pattern 839261212Ssjg _p_a_t_t_e_r_n in each word of the value is substituted with _r_e_p_l_a_c_e_m_e_n_t. 840261212Ssjg The `1' modifier causes the substitution to apply to at most one 841261212Ssjg word; the `g' modifier causes the substitution to apply to as many 842261212Ssjg instances of the search pattern _p_a_t_t_e_r_n as occur in the word or 843261212Ssjg words it is found in; the `W' modifier causes the value to be 844261212Ssjg treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white space). 845261212Ssjg Note that `1' and `g' are orthogonal; the former specifies whether 846261212Ssjg multiple words are potentially affected, the latter whether multiple 847261212Ssjg substitutions can potentially occur within each affected word. 848236769Sobrien 849268437Ssjg As for the ::SS modifier, the _p_a_t_t_e_r_n and _r_e_p_l_a_c_e_m_e_n_t are subjected to 850268437Ssjg variable expansion before being parsed as regular expressions. 851268437Ssjg 852236769Sobrien ::TT Replaces each word in the variable with its last component. 853236769Sobrien 854236769Sobrien ::uu Remove adjacent duplicate words (like uniq(1)). 855236769Sobrien 856236769Sobrien ::??_t_r_u_e___s_t_r_i_n_g::_f_a_l_s_e___s_t_r_i_n_g 857236769Sobrien If the variable name (not its value), when parsed as a .if condi- 858236769Sobrien tional expression, evaluates to true, return as its value the 859236769Sobrien _t_r_u_e___s_t_r_i_n_g, otherwise return the _f_a_l_s_e___s_t_r_i_n_g. Since the variable 860236769Sobrien name is used as the expression, :? must be the first modifier after 861236769Sobrien the variable name itself - which will, of course, usually contain 862236769Sobrien variable expansions. A common error is trying to use expressions 863236769Sobrien like 864236769Sobrien ${NUMBERS:M42:?match:no} 865236769Sobrien which actually tests defined(NUMBERS), to determine is any words 866236769Sobrien match "42" you need to use something like: 867236769Sobrien ${"${NUMBERS:M42}" != "":?match:no}. 868236769Sobrien 869236769Sobrien _:_o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g_=_n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g 870236769Sobrien This is the AT&T System V UNIX style variable substitution. It must 871236769Sobrien be the last modifier specified. If _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g or _n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g do not 872236769Sobrien contain the pattern matching character _% then it is assumed that 873236769Sobrien they are anchored at the end of each word, so only suffixes or 874236769Sobrien entire words may be replaced. Otherwise _% is the substring of 875236769Sobrien _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g to be replaced in _n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g. 876236769Sobrien 877236769Sobrien Variable expansion occurs in the normal fashion inside both 878236769Sobrien _o_l_d___s_t_r_i_n_g and _n_e_w___s_t_r_i_n_g with the single exception that a backslash 879236769Sobrien is used to prevent the expansion of a dollar sign (`$'), not a pre- 880236769Sobrien ceding dollar sign as is usual. 881236769Sobrien 882236769Sobrien ::@@_t_e_m_p@@_s_t_r_i_n_g@@ 883236769Sobrien This is the loop expansion mechanism from the OSF Development Envi- 884236769Sobrien ronment (ODE) make. Unlike ..ffoorr loops expansion occurs at the time 885236769Sobrien of reference. Assign _t_e_m_p to each word in the variable and evaluate 886236769Sobrien _s_t_r_i_n_g. The ODE convention is that _t_e_m_p should start and end with a 887236769Sobrien period. For example. 888236769Sobrien ${LINKS:@.LINK.@${LN} ${TARGET} ${.LINK.}@} 889236769Sobrien 890253883Ssjg However a single character variable is often more readable: 891236769Sobrien ${MAKE_PRINT_VAR_ON_ERROR:@v@$v='${$v}'${.newline}@} 892236769Sobrien 893236769Sobrien ::UU_n_e_w_v_a_l 894236769Sobrien If the variable is undefined _n_e_w_v_a_l is the value. If the variable 895236769Sobrien is defined, the existing value is returned. This is another ODE 896236769Sobrien make feature.

If no such node exists or its path is null, then the name of 909236769Sobrien the variable is used. In order for this modifier to work, the name 910236769Sobrien (node) must at least have appeared on the rhs of a dependency. 911236769Sobrien 912236769Sobrien ::!!_c_m_d!! 913236769Sobrien The output of running _c_m_d is the value. 914236769Sobrien 915236769Sobrien ::sshh If the variable is non-empty it is run as a command and the output 916236769Sobrien becomes the new value. 917236769Sobrien 918236769Sobrien ::::==_s_t_r 919236769Sobrien The variable is assigned the value _s_t_r after substitution. This 920236769Sobrien modifier and its variations are useful in obscure situations such as 921236769Sobrien wanting to set a variable when shell commands are being parsed. 922236769Sobrien These assignment modifiers always expand to nothing, so if appearing 923236769Sobrien in a rule line by themselves should be preceded with something to 924236769Sobrien keep bbmmaakkee happy. 925236769Sobrien 926236769Sobrien The `::::' helps avoid false matches with the AT&T System V UNIX style 927236769Sobrien ::== modifier and since substitution always occurs the ::::== form is 928236769Sobrien vaguely appropriate. 929236769Sobrien 930236769Sobrien ::::??==_s_t_r 931236769Sobrien As for ::::== but only if the variable does not already have a value. 932236769Sobrien 933236769Sobrien ::::++==_s_t_r 934236769Sobrien Append _s_t_r to the variable. 935236769Sobrien 936236769Sobrien ::::!!==_c_m_d 937236769Sobrien Assign the output of _c_m_d to the variable. 938236769Sobrien 939236769Sobrien ::[[_r_a_n_g_e]] 940236769Sobrien Selects one or more words from the value, or performs other opera- 941236769Sobrien tions related to the way in which the value is divided into words. 942236769Sobrien 943236769Sobrien Ordinarily, a value is treated as a sequence of words delimited by 944296637Ssjg white space. Some modifiers suppress this behavior, causing a value 945296637Ssjg to be treated as a single word (possibly containing embedded white 946296637Ssjg space). An empty value, or a value that consists entirely of white- 947296637Ssjg space, is treated as a single word. For the purposes of the `::[[]]' 948296637Ssjg modifier, the words are indexed both forwards using positive inte- 949296637Ssjg gers (where index 1 represents the first word), and backwards using 950296637Ssjg negative integers (where index -1 represents the last word). 951236769Sobrien 952236769Sobrien The _r_a_n_g_e is subjected to variable expansion, and the expanded 953236769Sobrien result is then interpreted as follows: 954236769Sobrien 955236769Sobrien _i_n_d_e_x Selects a single word from the value. 956236769Sobrien 957236769Sobrien _s_t_a_r_t...._e_n_d 958236769Sobrien Selects all words from _s_t_a_r_t to _e_n_d, inclusive. For example, 959236769Sobrien `::[[22....--11]]' selects all words from the second word to the last 960236769Sobrien word. If _s_t_a_r_t is greater than _e_n_d, then the words are out- 961236769Sobrien put in reverse order.

Variable 1128236769Sobrien expansion is performed on both sides of the comparison, after which the 1129236769Sobrien integral values are compared. A value is interpreted as hexadecimal if 1130236769Sobrien it is preceded by 0x, otherwise it is decimal; octal numbers are not sup- 1131236769Sobrien ported. The standard C relational operators are all supported. If after 1132236769Sobrien variable expansion, either the left or right hand side of a `====' or `!!==' 1133236769Sobrien operator is not an integral value, then string comparison is performed 1134236769Sobrien between the expanded variables. If no relational operator is given, it 1135236769Sobrien is assumed that the expanded variable is being compared against 0 or an 1136236769Sobrien empty string in the case of a string comparison. 1137236769Sobrien 1138236769Sobrien When bbmmaakkee is evaluating one of these conditional expressions, and it 1139236769Sobrien encounters a (white-space separated) word it doesn't recognize, either 1140236769Sobrien the ``make'' or ``defined'' expression is applied to it, depending on the 1141236769Sobrien form of the conditional. If the form is `..iiffddeeff', `..iiffnnddeeff', or `..iiff' 1142236769Sobrien the ``defined'' expression is applied. Similarly, if the form is 1143236769Sobrien `..iiffmmaakkee' or `..iiffnnmmaakkee, tthhee' ``make'' expression is applied. 1144236769Sobrien 1145236769Sobrien If the conditional evaluates to true the parsing of the makefile contin- 1146236769Sobrien ues as before. If it evaluates to false, the following lines are 1147236769Sobrien skipped. In both cases this continues until a `..eellssee' or `..eennddiiff' is 1148236769Sobrien found. 1149236769Sobrien 1150236769Sobrien For loops are typically used to apply a set of rules to a list of files. 1151236769Sobrien The syntax of a for loop is: 1152236769Sobrien 1153236769Sobrien ..ffoorr _v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e [_v_a_r_i_a_b_l_e _._._.] iinn _e_x_p_r_e_s_s_i_o_n 1154236769Sobrien <make-rules> 1155236769Sobrien ..eennddffoorr 1156236769Sobrien 1157236769Sobrien After the for eexxpprreessssiioonn is evaluated, it is split into words.

In particular this 1424236769Sobrien stops them being treated as syntax, and removes some obscure problems 1425236769Sobrien using them in .if statements. 1426236769Sobrien 1427281812Ssjg The way that parallel makes are scheduled changed in NetBSD 4.0 so that 1428281812Ssjg .ORDER and .WAIT apply recursively to the dependent nodes.

Most 1434281812Ssjg notably: 1435281812Ssjg 1436281812Ssjg ++oo The ..WWAAIITT and ..OORRDDEERR declarations and most functionality per- 1437281812Ssjg taining to parallelization. (GNU make supports parallelization 1438281812Ssjg but lacks these features needed to control it effectively.) 1439281812Ssjg 1440281812Ssjg ++oo Directives, including for loops and conditionals and most of 1441281812Ssjg the forms of include files. (GNU make has its own incompatible 1442281812Ssjg and less powerful syntax for conditionals.) 1443281812Ssjg 1444281812Ssjg ++oo All built-in variables that begin with a dot. 1445281812Ssjg 1446281812Ssjg ++oo Most of the special sources and targets that begin with a dot, 1447281812Ssjg with the notable exception of ..PPHHOONNYY, ..PPRREECCIIOOUUSS, and ..SSUUFFFFIIXXEESS. 1448281812Ssjg 1449281812Ssjg ++oo Variable modifiers, except for the 1450281812Ssjg :old=new 1451281812Ssjg string substitution, which does not portably support globbing 1452281812Ssjg with `%' and historically only works on declared suffixes. 1453281812Ssjg 1454281812Ssjg ++oo The $$>> variable even in its short form; most makes support this 1455281812Ssjg functionality but its name varies. 1456281812Ssjg 1457281812Ssjg Some features are somewhat more portable, such as assignment with ++==, ??==, 1458281812Ssjg and !!==. The ..PPAATTHH functionality is based on an older feature VVPPAATTHH found 1459281812Ssjg in GNU make and many versions of SVR4 make; however, historically its 1460281812Ssjg behavior is too ill-defined (and too buggy) to rely upon. 1461281812Ssjg 1462281812Ssjg The $$@@ and $$<< variables are more or less universally portable, as is the 1463281812Ssjg $$((MMAAKKEE)) variable. Basic use of suffix rules (for files only in the cur- 1464281812Ssjg rent directory, not trying to chain transformations together, etc.) is 1465281812Ssjg also reasonably portable. 1466281812Ssjg 1467236769SobrienSSEEEE AALLSSOO 1468236769Sobrien mkdep(1) 1469236769Sobrien 1470236769SobrienHHIISSTTOORRYY 1471236769Sobrien bbmmaakkee is derived from NetBSD make(1). It uses autoconf to facilitate 1472236769Sobrien portability to other platforms. 1473236769Sobrien 1474242102Ssjg A make command appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. This make implementation 1475242102Ssjg is based on Adam De Boor's pmake program which was written for Sprite at 1476242102Ssjg Berkeley. It was designed to be a parallel distributed make running jobs 1477242102Ssjg on different machines using a daemon called ``customs''. 1478240330Smarcel 1479253883Ssjg Historically the target/dependency ``FRC'' has been used to FoRCe 1480253883Ssjg rebuilding (since the target/dependency does not exist... unless someone 1481253883Ssjg creates an ``FRC'' file). 1482253883Ssjg 1483242102SsjgBBUUGGSS 1484242102Ssjg The make syntax is difficult to parse without actually acting of the 1485242102Ssjg data. For instance finding the end of a variable use should involve 1486242102Ssjg scanning each the modifiers using the correct terminator for each field. 1487242102Ssjg In many places make just counts {} and () in order to find the end of a 1488242102Ssjg variable expansion. 1489240330Smarcel 1490242102Ssjg There is no way of escaping a space character in a filename. 1491240330Smarcel 1492301462SsjgNetBSD 5.1 June 2, 2016 NetBSD 5.1 1493
