fpcdep

Small Free Pascal utility to generate Makefile-style dependency files from Pascal source.

[!CAUTION] This utility will no longer be maintained for the foreseeable future. I created it to be used with a complex Makefile build system for my hobby OS kernel. I have since moved to using the FPMAKE build system which has rendered this utility deprecated.

Required

fpc make

Build

fpcmake && make

Install

make install

Clean

make clean

Usage

fpcdep [options] <input>

Options

-o <x> Output to file <x> (default is input filename with .d extension)

-t <x> Rule target, e.g., <x> : prerequisites (default is input filename with .o extension)

-I <x> Add <x> to include search path

-Fi <x> Add <x> to include search path

-Fu <x> Add <x> to unit search path

-FU <x> Set the prerequisite unit path to <x> (default is the directory of the target)

-Pe <x> Set the prerequisite unit extension to <x> (default is .ppu)

[!NOTE] Any options not listed above will be ignored rather than returning an error. This will allow any flag variables passed to fpc to also be passed to fpcdep.

[!IMPORTANT] Prerequisites will not be added if fpcdep cannot find them in any of the provided search paths.

[!IMPORTANT] For units, fpcdep will look for the source files, .pas or .pp, and not compiled, .ppu.

Example

Input

myprg.pas

program myprg;
uses myunit;
begin
end.

myunit.pas

unit myunit;
interface
{$I myinc1.inc}
implementation
end.

myinc1.inc

{$I myinc2.inc}

Output

fpcdep -Pe.o -FUunits -tmyprg myprg.pas
fpcdep -tunits/myunit.o myunit.pas

myprg.d

myprg : myprg.pas units/myunit.o

myunit.d

units/myunit.o : myunit.pas myinc1.inc myinc2.inc
