mkmake - A make file generator

                              by Martin Hohl

                         Amiga Version 0.3 beta


Imagine you have a set of 30 source files which you have to compile and link
together. The original makefile is missing or unusable for your make utility.
You have to set up a suitable makefile from scratch.
mkmake helps you to do this job quicker and easier.

You simply put those source file in a separate directory and type:

mkmake -a -L #?.c >makefile

or you type:
mkmake -a -L file1.c file2.c file3.c ... >makefile

and you have a skeleton makefile which you can edit to your needs.


SYNOPSIS:

mkmake [-o<objext>] [-m<mainfile>] [-aL] [-r<libfile>] fpattern

<objext> is the extension for the object files, the default is .o for AmigaDOS.
<mainfile> is the name for the main file.

-a   variables SRC and OBJ are created and set to the filenames of all sources
     respective object files

-L   all filenames are lowercase

-r<libfile>   generate calls for the librarian


SUPPORTED OPERATING SYSTEMS:
MS-DOS (Turbo-C 2.0)
AmigaDOS 1.3  (SAS/C 5.10B) (1.3 compatible pattern matching only)
AmigaDOS 2.04 (SAS/C 5.10B) (2.04 compatible pattern matching)


BUGS:
-o<objext> does'nt work in some cases

IDEAS for future enhancements:
add support for BSD and SYSV, just need to add #ifdef in scandir()
add in a scanner for "#include" statements in source files to get dependencies

FILES:
mkmake.c      Source for the main program
match.o       AmigaDOS 1.3
mkmake.make   makefile for AmigaDOS
mkmake        Binary for AmigaDOS, compiled with SAS/C 5.10B
