Use Makefiles for Compilation
This topic describes the use of makefiles to compile your application. You can use makefiles to specify a number of files with various paths, and to save this information for multiple compilations.
Linux
To run make from the command line using the compiler, make sure that /usr/bin and /usr/local/bin are in your PATH environment variable.
If you use the C shell, you can edit your .cshrc file and add the following:
setenv PATH /usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Then you can compile using the following syntax:
make -f yourmakefile
Where -f is the make command option to specify a particular makefile name.
Windows
To use a makefile to compile your source files, use the nmake command. For example, if your project is your_project.mak, you can use the following syntax:
Example:
nmake /f [makefile_name.mak] FPP=[compiler_name] LINK32=[linker_name]For example:
nmake /f your_project.mak FPP=ifx LINK32=xilink
Argument |
Description |
---|---|
/f | The nmake option to specify a makefile. |
your_project.mak |
The makefile used to generate object and executable files. |
FPP |
The preprocessor/compiler that generates object and executable files. (The name of this macro may be different for your makefile.) |
LINK32 |
The linker that is used. |
The nmake command creates object files (.obj) and executable files () from the information specified in the your_project.mak makefile.
Generate Build Dependencies for Compilation
Use the gen-dep compiler option to generate build dependencies for compilation.
Build dependencies include a list of all files included with INCLUDE statements and .mod files accessed with USE statements. The resulting output can be used to create a makefile to with the appropriate dependencies resolved.
Consider a source file that contains the following:
module b include 'gendep001b.inc' end module b program gendep001 use b a_global = b_global end
When you compile the source using the gen-dep option, the following output is produced:
b.mod : \ gendep001.f90 gendep001.obj : \ gendep001.f90 gendep001b.inc
This output indicates that the generated file, b.mod, depends on the source file, gendep001.f90. Similarly, the generated file, gendep001.obj, depends on the files, gendpe001.f90 and gendep001b.inc.
