An example of its use in a Makefile might be: .nf .RS CFLAGS= -O -DDEBUG -I../include -I. SRCS= file1.c file2.c depend: mkdep ${CFLAGS} ${SRCS} .RE .PP where the macro SRCS is the list of C source files and the macro CFLAGS is the list of flags for the C compiler. The \fB-f\fP option provides \fImkdep\fP with a name other than ``Makefile'' to be edited. If the \fB-p\fP option is provided, \fImkdep\fP produces dependencies of the form ``program: program.c'' so that subsequent makes will produce \fIprogram\fP directly from its C module rather than using an intermediate \fI.o\fP module. This is useful in directories that contain many programs, each of whose source is contained in a single C module. .SH "SEE ALSO" cc(1), cpp(1), make(1)
