Smake

Smake is an open source and highly portable make program that incorporates automake features.

Smake is targeted to be used with the makefiles system as well as with any general purpose make task.

What is new in this release:

• smake now tries to inline "echo" commands and to avoid shell calls in order to speed up execution on platforms with slow process creation such as Win-DOS (cygwin).

What is new in version 1.2.2:

• Support for some new platforms was added.
• This release correctly implements the '+' command line prefix even when it has been called with -t (touch).
• Better file PATH search allows smake to better find its internal .../lib/defaults.smk file that contains the default rules (see libschily/searchinpath.c).

What is new in version 1.2.1:

• ./.clean now removes symlinks
• x86_64-dragonfly-cc.rul & x86_64-dragonfly-gcc.rul new
• Addex experimental rules for using "pcc" on Solaris x86
• New autoconf test on whether Compiler supports "inline" keyword
• New autoconf test if struct stat contains st_atime_n (nanosecs)
• New autoconf test if struct stat contains st_flag
• C-dependencies on AIX are now extracted using cc -M -qsyntaxonly
• As the new Intel 64 bit strcpy() implementation does not work correctly with overlapping strings, smake now includes a ovstrcpy() function to avoid related problems.
• Smake now supports $(EMPTY): target names.
• A minor bug in the makefile parser was fixed. The bug caused targets that appeared directly after an otherwise emty line that started with a TAB char to be ignored.
