this is the 'make' from a pwb/unix system the description below pertains to differences twixt this make and a make from elsewhere if 'make' exists Makfile can be used to re-make otherwise use run to make first 'make' ian J feb '79 Differences between PW make & original make: - If exit status is ignored for an executed command, a warning is not printed if the command returns a non-zero status. The original prints such a warning. - When the command is printed prior to execution, the command name is prefixed with ">"; this makes the commands stand out. - Has builtin suffix rules for LEAP script .t-.o files, and .z-.h files. - After reading internal "makerules" file, but before reading the local "makefile" file, PW version reads "makecomm"/"Makecomm"in login directory, and then in local directory. "makecomm" is useful for defining "common" macro names. - PW version exec's commands by using pexec(), which uses the .path file.
