C 5 mkdep - construct Makefile dependency list mkdep [ -ap ] [ -f depend_file ] [ flags ] file ... 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_file, or ``.depend'' by default. 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.

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. The -a option causes appending to the output file,
so that multiple mkdep's may be run from a single Makefile.
