Dmake
Dmake is a make utility similar to GNU make
or the Workshop dmake.
This utility has an irregular syntax but is available for Linux,
Solaris, Win32 and other platforms. It is used by the
OpenOffice.org build system.
This version of dmake
is a modified version of Dennis Vadura's GPL'ed dmake.
The original sources were available on
http://dmake.wticorp.com.
As this site has not been reachable for some time the OpenOffice.org
team adopted this utility but all development on it has been abandoned.
The sources can still be found on GitHub and it can be downloaded
the stand-alone
Dmake Repository.
Added features in dmake (outdated):
-
smaller/greater arithmetic like:
.IF 400<=200
- Boolean expressions "or", "and" and nesting thereof:
.IF
(("$(OS)"=="MACOSX"&&"$(COM)"=="GCC")||"$(OS)"=="LINUX"||"$(OS)"=="SOLARIS")
&& "$(GUIBASE)"=="unx"
Those are only two examples, read the NEWS file (find links below) for more
features and changes.
Note: Beside fixed bugs the dmake versions are downward compatible.
