SDMake is a port of DMake and back-ports of Amiga relevant parts of DXMake to SAS/C.
It was made mainly because SMake has become to limited for my main project.
I needed a make that:
- could include multiple files.
- had a query option that worked.
- could parse version and revision from rev.h files to build libraries with SLink.
I assume all this could be done with GNU Make, but I do not want to go down the road of slowly turning my AmigOS development-environment into POSIX. And I most certainly do not want to replace a 30K make tool with one that is 161K.
So the best alternative seemed to be porting DMake and back-porting the .include directive from DXMake.
Most notable changes from DMake/DXMake so far:
- Removed all not Amiga related code.
- Replaced many ANSI/POSIX functions with dos.library calls.
- Added cache to dependency-scanning to avoid multiple redundant Examine().
- Added multiple internal commands.
- Added multiple directives.
- Converted to use memory pools.
- Fixed starting from Workbench.
- Converted to use asynchronous read code based on AsyncIO by Martin Taillefer.
For details, see SDMake.guide. Sorry about no detailed change-log yet except for the messy commit history, I will try to make one before I make first official release.
To build and install, execute bootstrap. This uses the supplied SMakefile to build a generic version in "bin/", which is then used to build and install the appropriate version for the currently running AmigaOS version to "sc:c/". It also installs the .guide file to "HELP:english/". The file SDMakefile.config can be edited to change these locations. It will also install the file SDMake-SMake.def to "ENVARC:SDMake/" if it is not already present. This file is used for limited compatibility with SMake default variables when the selected makefile is named smakefile.
There is also a line in SDMakefile.config that can be un-commented to switch on support for -d command line option and DEBUG tool type.
