This is the Amiga port of DMake 3.8 by Dennis Dvadura. See file
man/dmake.nc for documentation.

INSTALLATION:

Just copy the dmake executable to somewhere in your path. Then copy
the amiga/startup.mk to your S: directory and edit it if necessary.


THE SOURCE:


The Amiga port of dmake 3.8 requires SAS/C 6.51 (it may work with 6.50
and maybe with 6.3, too) to compile. There are two ways to compile the
program:

1) Without existing dmake:

Type

execute amiga/make.sh

to your shell. This should compile all necessary files and produce the
dmake executable.


2) With existing dmake:

Type in your shell

setenv OS Amiga
dmake dmake



This dmake 3.8 port should be quite complete (I think). There are only
two limitations that come to mind:

1) Amiga port doesn't support parallel makes (i.e. only one target is
built at a time). I didn't implement multiple child processes because
there is a bug in SAS/C 6.51 forkv() with multiple childs, and I
couldn't see where this feature could be used in Amiga (most uses of
dmake are pretty CPU intensive, so parallelism wouldn't help). When
a patch is released to fix the SAS/C-bug, I might add parallel makes.

2) As mentioned in dmake's documents, Amiga's link libraries don't
have time stamps for individual objects. This means that a time stamp
for a link library object is taken from the time stamp of the library
itself.


That's it, I think. The startup.mk file in amiga-directory is written
especially for SAS/C (and my configuration), so you might want to edit
it and perhaps remove unnecessary items.
