dmake
make utility used to build OpenOffice.org
Dmake is a make utility similar to GNU make or the Workshop dmake.
This utility has an irregular syntax but is available for Linux, Solaris, and
Win32 and other platforms. This version of dmake is a modified version of the
original public domain dmake, and is used to build OpenOffice.org.
Dmake features:
* support for portable makefiles
* portable across many platforms
* significantly enhanced macro facilities
* sophisticated inference algorithm supporting
transitive closure over the inference graph
* support for traversing the file system both
during making of targets and during inference
* %-meta rules for specifying rules to be used
for inferring prerequisites
* conditional macros
* local rule macro variables
* proper support for libraries
* parallel making of targets on architectures
that support it
* attributed targets
* text diversions
* group recipes
* supports MKS extended argument passing
convention
* directory caching
* highly configurable
