The +easiest way to do this is to run the master makefile through a +preprocessor. To this end, I have created a master makefile for +DOS/OS2 systems called makefile.all. This makefile is processed by +the DOS executable mkmake.exe to produce various makefiles. For +example, + + mkmake BCC < makefile.all > makefile + +produces a makefile suitable for BCC, whereas + + mkmake OS2 EMX < makefile.all > makefile + +produces a makefile for OS2 assuming that EMX is the compiler. + +Use + + mkmake < makefile.all | more + +for more information. (Better yet, look at makefile.all; it is best +viewed with a folding editor). + +Note that the resulting makefile should be copied to the src directory. |
