Makedepend is a makefile dependency generator from The XFree86 Project, Inc.
|
||
|
|
If you have X installed, you already have makedepend and do not need this port!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Makedepend reads each sourcefile in sequence and parses it like a
|
||
|
|
C-preprocessor, processing all #include, #define, #undef, #ifdef, #ifndef,
|
||
|
|
#endif, #if and #else directives so that it can correctly tell which #include,
|
||
|
|
directives would be used in a compilation. Any #include, directives can
|
||
|
|
reference files having other #include directives, and parsing will occur in
|
||
|
|
these files as well.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Every file that a sourcefile includes, directly or indirectly, is what
|
||
|
|
makedepend calls a "dependency". These dependencies are then written to a
|
||
|
|
makefile in such a way that make will know which object files must be
|
||
|
|
recompiled when a dependency has changed.
