MKDEP 1 ""
C 5
NAME
mkdep - construct Makefile dependency list
SYNOPSIS
mkdep [ -f depend_file ] [ -p ] [ flags ] file ...
DESCRIPTION
Mkdep takes a set of flags for the C compiler and a list of C source files as arguments and constructs a set of include file dependencies which are written into the file .depend. An example of its use in a Makefile might be:

CFLAGS= -O -DDEBUG -I../include -I. SRCS= file1.c file2.c depend: mkdep ${CFLAGS} ${SRCS}

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 -f option provides mkdep with a name other than ``Makefile'' to be edited. If the -p option is provided, mkdep produces dependencies of the form ``program: program.c'' so that subsequent makes will produce program directly from its C module rather than using an intermediate .o module. This is useful in directories that contain many programs, each of whose source is contained in a single C module.
