.SH DESCRIPTION
Makefiles is a set of rules that allows compiling of structured
projects with small and uniformly structured makefiles.
All rules are located in a central directory.
Compiling the projects on different platforms can be done
simultaneously without
the need to modify any of the makefiles that are located
in the projects directories.
.PP
Makefiles is a set of high level portability tools superior to
.B autoconf
and easier to use.
.PP
Three make programs are supported:
.IR "Sunpro make" , 
.I "GNU make"
and
.IR smake .
.PP
.I BSDmake
could be supported if it supports pattern matching rules correctly.
.PP
The main design goal was to have a set of small and easy to read
makefiles, each located in the project's leaf directory and therefore 
called
.IR leaf -makefile.
.PP
Each of these 
.IR leaf -makefiles,
in fact contains no rule at all. It simply defines some macros
for the 
.IR make -program
and includes two files from a central make rule depository.
The included files and the files that are recursively included 
define the rules that are needed to compile the project.
.PP
Each 
.IR leaf -makefile
is formed in a really simple way:
.TP
\(bu
It first defines two macros that define the relative location
of the project's root directory and the name of the directory
that contains the complete set of of rules and then includes
the rule file 
.I rules.top
from the directory that forms the central rule depository.
You only have to edit the macro
.I SRCROOT
to reflect the relative location of the project's root directory.
.TP
\(bu
The next part of a 
.IR leaf -makefile
defines macros that describe the target and the source.
You can only have one target per 
.IR leaf -makefile.
Of course, there may be many source files, that are needed to create
that target.
If you want to make more than one target in a specific directory,
you have to put more than one makefile into that directory.
This is the part of a makefile that describes a unique target.
Edit this part to contain all source files, all local include files
and all non global compile time flags that are needed for your target.
For a typical target this is as simple as filling in a form.
.TP
\(bu
Each
.IR leaf -makefile
finally includes a file from the rules directory that contains
rules for the appropriate type of target that is to be made
from this 
.IR leaf -makefile.
.PP
The makefile in each directory has to be called
.IR Makefile .
If you want to have more than one makefile in a specific directory,
you have to choose different names for the other makefiles.
.PP
There are rules for the following type of targets:
.TP 20
commands
The make rules for user level commands like
.IR cat ", " ls 
etc. are located in the file 
.I rules.cmd
.TP
drivers
The make rules for device drivers
are located in the file 
.I rules.drv
.TP
libraries
The make rules for non shared libraries
are located in the file 
.I rules.lib
.TP
shared libraries
The make rules for shared libraries
are located in the file 
.I rules.shl
.TP
localized files
The make rules for localized files
are located in the file 
.I rules.loc
.TP
nonlocalized files
The make rules for non localized files
are located in the file 
.I rules.aux
.TP
shell scripts
The make rules for shell scripts (a variant of localized files)
are located in the file 
.I rules.scr
.TP
manual pages
The make rules for manual pages (a variant of localized files)
are located in the file 
.I rules.man
.TP
diverted makefiles
The make rules for projects that need to have more than
one makefile in a specific directory
are located in the file 
.I rules.mks
It contains a rule that diverts to the listed sub makefiles.
Each sub makefile may be of any type.
.TP
directories
The make rules for sub directories
are located in the file 
.I rules.dir

.SH "Macros/Variables Used In Rules
.PP
The following is a description of the most important macros
used within the make rules.
.I NOTE: 
not all of them might be changed in a specific makefile.
Carefully read the description and change only those macros
that are intended to be used to change the behavior of
the compilation.

.TP 13

.I M_ARCH
is not available, it is set to the content of 
.IR K_ARCH .
.br
Do not change this macro unless you want to do a cross compilation.
.
.TP
O_ARCH
this macro contains the name of the operating system
converted to lower case.
It is usually the output of:
.IR "uname \-s" .
It may contain a modified name if the compilation rules
for different version of the operating system differ (e.g.
on

is not available, it is set to the content of 
.IR K_ARCH .
.br
Do not change this macro.
.
.TP
PARCH
this macro contains the processor architecture for the
target machine (e.g.

.
.TP
RULESDIR
the value of this macro must be set before
the rules file
.I "$(SRCROOT)/$(RULESDIR/rules.top
is included.
If you want to test the behavior of a modified version
of the
.I makefiles
in 
.IR RULESDIR ,
put a copy into an alternate directory, modify one or more
files in it and then use make with a different value of
.IR RULESDIR ,
that points to the alternate directory.
.
.TP
RUNPATH
is evaluated on systems, where 
.I LD_RUN_PATH
is supported.
It contains the default library search path for dynamic linked targets
on runtime. 
This search path will be stored inside the target.
This is usually set in the file
.I $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults
or 
.IR $(DEFLTSROOT)/$(DEFLTSDIR)/Defaults.$(O_ARCH) .
Note that older systems will use 
.I LD_LIBRARY_PATH
for this purpose too.
.
.TP
SCRFILE
this macro must be set in a leaf makefile for shell scripts to define
the source for that script file.
.
.TP
SRCFILE
this macro must be set in a leaf makefile for localized files to define
the source for that file.
.
.TP
SRCROOT
this macro contains the relative position to the project's
source root directory.
The value of this macro must be set before
the rules file
.I "$(SRCROOT)/$(RULESDIR/rules.top
is included.
.I SRCROOT
should be set to
.I ../..
if the appropriate leaf makefile is located two directory
levels below the source route.
.
.TP
SUBARCHDIR
may be set to put the object files and the target into
a different directory than usual.
.I SUBARCHDIR
will modify the value of 
.IR ARCHDIR .
If you want to make a target that is compiled for 
.I dbx
you may use:
.IR "make COPTX=\-g SUBARCHDIR=\-dbx" .
.
.TP
TARGET
all makefiles, that are not referring to library targets or
sub makes / sub dir makes,
must define
.I TARGET
to be the output file name of the final link operation.
.
.TP
TARGETLIB
all makefiles that are used to make libraries
must define
.I TARGETLIB
to be the central part of the target library.
If you want to make e.g.
.I libfoo
define
.IR "TARGETLIB= foo" .
This is needed to allow operating systems to have different naming 
conventions for libraries.
If you are making a non shared library, the example above
would result in a filename:
.I libfoo.a
for the real target.
.
.TP
TARGETMAN
this macro must be set in a leaf makefile for manual pages to define
the base name for that manual page (not including the suffix).
.
.TP
XMK_FILE
makefiles that want to install manual pages should set 
.I XMK_FILE
to 
.B Makefile.man
to avoid having to install a diversion make file. 
The make file found in
.I XMK_FILE
will be processed only if 
.I make
is called with the target 
.IR install .

.SH "GETTING STARTED
.PP
To set up a new project, first copy the 
.IR RULES " and " TEMPLATES
directories and all its content into the project's root directory.
.PP
Then copy a top level makefile, a 
.I Defaults
file and a 
.I Targetdirs.archname
file into the project's root directory.
.PP
Then create the following directories:
.IR cmd ", " lib ", " include .
.PP
Now start creating target directories e.g below
.IR cmd " and " lib .
Don't forget to create a makefile and an appropriate
.I Targetdirs.archname 
file on each node directory.

.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
If you want to set up a private copy of parts of a project,
you should choose a directory inside your directory tree that will become
the shadow projects source root directory.
Then create symbolic links named 
.IR RULES " and " TEMPLATES
to the real source root.
If you don't want to modify the global include files,
create a symbolic link to the
.I include
directory too, else copy the include directory and its content.
copy the top level makefile, the 
.I Defaults
file and the
.I Targetdirs.archname 
file.
.PP
Finally copy the desired sub tree together with all
makefiles and the 
.I Targetdirs.archname 
files that are located in the directories above
your part of the project that you want to have separately.

.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR makerules (4),
.BR make (1),
.BR gmake (1),
.BR smake (1).
.PP
If you want to know, how to add new rules or how to add support
for new operating systems or compilers look into 
.BR makerules (4).

.SH DIAGNOSTICS
Diagnostic messages depend on the make program.
Have a look at the appropriate man page.

.SH NOTES
The scope of this manual is only the usage of 
.BR "leaf makefiles" .
If you want to make changes to the 
.B make rules
have a look at
.BR makerules (4).
.PP
.I makefiles
can be used with 
.IR "Sunpro make" ", " "Gnu make"
and 
.IR smake .
Although Gnu make runs on many platforms, it has no useful debug
output.
.PP
Use
.IR "Sunpro make" " or " "smake"
if you have problems with a makefile.
.IR "Sunpro make" " and " "smake" ,
both have a \-D flag, that allows you to watch the makefiles
after the first expansion. Use this option, if you are in doubt
if your makefile gets expanded the right way and if the right
rules are included.
There is also a \-d option that gives debugging output while 
make is running. If you want more output, use \-dd, \-ddd and so on.
.PP
.I Smake
has an option \-xM that shows you the include dependency for
make rules.
