Running LIBMAKE

Lines 4-9 of the skeleton program contain directives to LIBMAKE that it uses to generate an include file. To run LIBMAKE, type the command:

libmake template.c

You will see LIBMAKE process the source file on the screen, and display messages if it encounters any errors as it runs. If there are no errors, the include file TEMPLATE.H is generated. In fact LIBMAKE will run much faster if you run it with the -quiet option like this:

libmake -quiet template.c

In this case LIBMAKE does not echo the files it is reading or creating - only any error messages are displayed.

The LIBMAKE directives that the examples in this manual use are described in the following sub-sections. The complete set of directives is given in LIBMAKE Directives Reference
