- ${.PREFIX} should never contain a full pathname
- Fixed gcc -Wall warnings
Major:
- compatMake is now FALSE. This means that we are now running in
full pmake mode:
* rules on dependency lines can be executed in parallel and or
out of sequence:
foo: bar baz
can fire the rule for baz before the rule for bar is fired.
To enforce bar to be fired before baz, another rule needs to be
added. [bar: baz]
* adjacent shell commands in a target are now executed by a single
invocation of the shell, not one invocation of the shell per line
(compatMake can be turned off using the -B flag)
- The -j flag now works... I.e. make -j 4 will fork up to four jobs in
parallel when it can. The target name is printed before each burst
of output caused by the target execution as '--- target ---', when j > 1
- I have changed all the Makefiles so that they work with make -j N, and
I have tested the whole netbsd by:
'make -j 4 cleandir; make -j 4 depend; make -j 4; make -j 4 install'
- I have not compiled or tested this version of make with -DREMOTE.
Dependency rules with `=' in the lhs are parsed as variable assignments.
E.g., the following Makefile fails:
A=a b c d
all: $(A:%=%b)
$(A:%=%b):
@echo $@
1. Honor environment variable $MACHINE if set over uname.machine
2. archives with :: are always out of date, even when they have no children.
3. VAR= a b c # comment, gets the trailing blanks trimmed, unless
escaped by \. I'll have to read the posix manul to make sure that it
is ok to handle escapes here.
