The 'make' file format - at least for circle's format - is pretty
simplistic. We shall use act.other.c as an example.
act.other.c will eventually be compiled as act.other.o (ie, we'll want to
be able to type 'make act.other.o' and have it be made.
Our entry inthe make file may look like this;
act.other.o: act.other.c conf.h sysdep.h structs.h utils.h comm.h \
interpreter.h handler.h db.h spells.h screen.h house.h constants.h
<tab> $(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) act.other.c
This is generalized in this way:
<thing to make>: <list of files to 'look' at>
<command to run>
The list of files is really the only thing that needs expliation.
These are files which 'make' looks at to determine if it needs to run the
command. If 'thing to make' has a modification time sooner than any of
the files that are listed, run the command, else, don't run it. This is
the main use of the Makefile and the make program. If no depended upon
files have been changed, you don't need to recompile the whole program.
The last step is to add these files to your end-compile... that
is, the linker stage where all your object (.o) files are ...well...linked
together. In the circlemud makefile, that's done simply by putting your
<thing to make> in the OBJS variable, which is defined uptop. You can
simply add that to the end.
The only problem; just make sure to use the c-preprocessor type
macro definition rules for variables.... that is, use the \ if you have
multiple lines.
