vmake
The vmake utility allows you to use a UNIX or Windows MAKE program to
maintain libraries. The vmake utility is run on a compiled design library, and
outputs a makefile that can be used to reconstruct the library. The resulting
makefile can then be run with a version of MAKE (not supplied with ModelSim);
a MAKE program is included with Microsoft’s Visual C/C++, as well as many
other program development environments.
After running the vmake utility, MAKE will recompile only the design units (and
their dependencies) that have changed. Vmake only needs to be run once, then
you can simply run MAKE to rebuild your design. If you add new design units or
delete old ones, you should re-run vmake to generate a new makefile.
This command must be invoked from either the UNIX or the Windows/DOS
prompt.
