Tru64 make utility flavors

I'm new in Tru64 area and I'm interested in understanding the two Tru64 make utility flavors:
The standard make
The XPG4/POSIX make

Unfortunately I don't an access to Tru64 machines.

It will be great if someone could send me the results of make -p of both flavors.

I also ask for someone to point me to examples or documents of makefiles that domonstarte how to use special features such as:
Target Attributes (.USE , .DONTCARE)
Single Quote Evaluation
Usage of Local variables
Variables Modifiers

Re: Tru64 make utility flavors

I believe there to be a 'testdrive' Tru64 system with general access trough: http://www.testdrive.hp.com/
However, that link is down just now, so I can not verify.

The Tru64 Site index ( http://h30097.www3.hp.com/site-index.html ) points to that, but uses 'compaq' instead of hp.

If you are askign because of porting concerns, check out http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/pub_page/porting.html

The make documentation can be found in:
http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/base_doc/DOCUMENTATION/V51B_HTML/ARH9WBTE/TITLE.HTM

And finally the posix compliance documentation metions make in: http://h30097.www3.hp.com/docs/posix/PCD2/TITLE.HTM

hth,
Hein.

Re: Tru64 make utility flavors


There are 3 makes on Tru64

1) /sbin/make = /usr/bin/make = /usr/ccs/bin/make

2) /usr/bin/posix/make

3) /usr/opt/ultrix/usr/bin/make

Some effort has been made to incorporate most of gmake features in the Tru64 make.

To satisfy your curiosity, see several "make -p" in attachement.

Rgds,
Johan.
