-F template Specify an alternative makeﬁle template path name. The path name can be relative

or absolute.

-M language Specify an alternative language-speciﬁc makeﬁle template. The default language is C

and the corresponding program and library makeﬁle templates are

C.p and

C.l,

respectively.

mkmf looks for these templates in /usr/ccs/lib/mf

$PROJECT/lib/mf

DIAGNOSTICS

Exit status 0 is normal. Exit status 1 indicates an error.

WARNINGS

The name of the makeﬁle is included as a macro deﬁnition within the makeﬁle and must be changed if the

makeﬁle is renamed.

Since executable ﬁles are dependent on libraries, standard library abbreviations must be expanded to full

path names within the

LIBS macro deﬁnition in the makeﬁle.

Generated dependency information appears after a line in the makeﬁle beginning with

###. This line must

not be removed, nor must any other information be inserted in the makeﬁle below this line.

The name of a program or library must not conﬂict with any predeﬁned target names in a makeﬁle. It is

especially important to avoid the the name

update to prevent make from recursively executing itself an

inﬁnite number of times.
