I use it whenever nmake is being bitchy and there's no Makefile in dmake
format. Usually works pretty well, except for that extra output:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop>pmake
Reading C:/Perl/site/lib/Make.pm
Reading C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\makefile
echo yup
yup
However, what I think would be really ideal would be something more
like:
target foo.$o depends(bar.$o, baz.c) {
print "yup";
}
In other words, a Perl solution. It would probably have some built-in
functions like:
cc_o(@infiles, $outfile)
cc_so(@infiles, $outfile)
cc_exec(@infiles, $outfile)
runprog($progname, @args) #in case we're building on VMS or something
Thinking about it, this could be implemented as a source filter.
target("foo.$o", sub {print "yup"}, depends => ["bar.$o", "baz.c"]);
#other targets here
do_the_make_stuff();
A P::RD grammar would probably handle that quite nicely...hmm...
target:
'target' file parameters block
{ qq{target("$item{file}", sub $item{block}, $item{parameters}) } }
block:
<perl_codeblock>
parameters:
parameter(s? / /)
parameter:
paramname '(' filelist ')'
{ qq{'$item{paramname}' => $item{filelist} } }
