MKDEP(1)		    General Commands Manual		      MKDEP(1)

NAME
       mkdep --	construct Makefile dependency list

SYNOPSIS
       mkdep [-ap] [-f file] [flags] file ...

DESCRIPTION
       The mkdep utility 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	depen-
       dencies which are written into the file ``.depend''.  An	example	of its
       use in a	Makefile might be:

	     CFLAGS= -O	-I../include
	     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.

       The  user  has  the ability to change the preprocessor and preprocessor
       options used.  For instance, to use cc as the preprocessor and  to  ig-
       nore system headers, one	would use

	     depend:
		     env MKDEP_CPP="cc -E" MKDEP_CPP_OPTS=-MM mkdep \
			     ${CFLAGS} ${SRCS}

       The options are as follows:

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

       -f      Write the include file dependencies to file, instead of the de-
	       fault ``.depend''.

       -p      Cause mkdep to produce 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  for programs whose source is contained in a single mod-
	       ule.

ENVIRONMENT
       CC	       Specifies the C compiler	to use.	  The  specified  com-
		       piler  is  expected to have options consistent with the
		       GNU C compiler.	The default is cc.

       MKDEP_CPP       Specifies the preprocessor  to  use.   The  default  is
		       "${CC} -E".

       MKDEP_CPP_OPTS  Specifies  the non-CFLAGS options for the preprocessor.
		       The default is "-M".

FILES
       .depend	File containing	list of	dependencies.

SEE ALSO
       cc(1), cpp(1), make(1)

HISTORY
       The mkdep command appeared in 4.3BSD-Tahoe.

FreeBSD	14.3		       October 23, 2015			      MKDEP(1)
