D.5 UNIX Make Compatibility

omake supports makefiles produced for SunOS (Solaris) Make. The following features are supported:

• makefile syntax

The makefile expression

include filename

where include is in the leftmost column of the makefile includes filename at this point in the makefile. The makefile expression

$(name:str1=str2)

is a macro modification with string substitution, with strings str1 and str2 both capable of using the % character as a wildcard to match zero or more characters in the expansion of name.

• Inference rules

omake supports the suffix rules and metarules of UNIX Make. Suffix rules are converted into omake inference rules. The .SUFFIXES directive is also supported.

• UNIX make emulation

There is no specific UNIX make emulation mode.
