Most of the makefiles in the `old' subdirectory have been contributed
by various people. I have tried to keep them up to date but I cannot
guarantee that they are problem free.
Due to various incompatibilities between various make programs for PC
systems as well as differing notions of what the path separator should
be, I have decided that the best and most maintainable approach is to
create a master makefile that that consists of system/compiler/make
sections from which the approriate makefile is constructed. The
easiest way to do this is to run the master makefile through a
preprocessor. To this end, I have created a master makefile for
DOS/OS2 systems called makefile.all. This makefile is processed by
the DOS executable mkmake.exe to produce various makefiles. For
example,
mkmake BCC < makefile.all > makefile
produces a makefile suitable for BCC, whereas
mkmake OS2EMX < makefile.all > makefile
produces a makefile for OS2 assuming that EMX is the compiler.
Use
mkmake < makefile.all | more
for more information. (Better yet, look at makefile.all; it is best
viewed with a folding editor).
