This directory contains a port of the BSD make tool (from NetBSD).
|
|
|
|
|
Since 1993 I have run it on AIX, BSDi, Darwin, FreeBSD, HP-UX, IRIX,
|
|
|
|
|
Linux, Minix, OSF, Solaris, SunOS and even UTS.
|
|
|
|
|
Others have run it on many more systems.

Interesting/relevant changes since bmake-20230909
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20240106
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o fix duplicate progname when reporting an unknown target
o unit tests for Cmd_Exec using temp file
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20240105
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o main.c: Cmd_Exec write cmd to a file if too big
avoid blowing commandline/env limits
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20240101
o util.c: flesh out more of strftime
* configure.in: add --with-bmake-strftime
it is not a full implementation but enough to pass all
the unit-tests.
* parse.c: LoadFile do not append \n to empty buffer.
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231230
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o simplify memory allocation for string buffers
o fix declared types of list nodes
o suff.c: clean up freeing of suffixes
o var.c: simplify debug message for the ':@var@...@' modifier
clean up variable handling
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231226
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o compat.c: ensure make's output is correctly ordered with that of
the target when not going to a tty
o main.c: check for shellPath whether to call Shell_Init()
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231224
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o compat.c: check for shellPath whether to call Shell_Init()
tweak the unit test to detect the bug thus fixed.
o make.1: do not claim .SHELL is only used by jobs mode.
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231220
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o str.c: speed up pattern matching in the ':M' modifier
o var.c: fix confusing debug logging when deleting a variable
use consistent debug messages style when ignoring variables
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231210
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o var.c: avoid segfault on empty :C match expression
explain in debug log why variable assignment is ignored.
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231208
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o var.c: ensure fromCmd is set correctly for variables set on
command line.
* VERSION (_MAKE_VERSION): 20231124
Merge with NetBSD make, pick up
o main.c: cleanup processing of -j
fix lint warning about strchr
o var.c: more accurate error message for invalid ':mtime' argument
cleanup :[...] modifier
avoid reading beyond substring when comparing
o unit-tests cover all cases of :mtime, test and explain exporting
of variables
o cleanup comments
* bsd.after-import.mk (ECHO_TAG): FreeBSD no longer uses
$FreeBSD$ tag, so avoid adding it.
mk/ChangeLog since bmake-20230909
* dirdeps.mk: for MAKE_VERSION 20240105 we do not have the same
limits on command line length, so skip export of lists to env.
* jobs.mk: avoid C suffix in JOB_MAX_C if factor is floating
point. This keeps JOB_MAX numeric incase another makefile does
comparisons.
* gendirdeps.mk: if META_XTRAS is passed to us, add to META_FILES

2012-06-08 22:57:36 +01:00

there are a number of args - most of which get passed to configure,

This will *not* work on Darwin or any other system with a case

|
|
|
|
insensitive filesystem. It depends on a generated ``makefile`` which

is disabled by default on Darwin.
