Rules and targets created by fpcmake

The makefile.fpc defines a series of targets, which can be called by your own targets. They have names that resemble default names (such as ’all’, ’clean’), only they have fpc_ prepended.

Pattern rules

The makefile makes the following pattern rules:

units

How to make a pascal unit form a pascal source file.

executables

How to make an executable from a pascal source file.

object file

How to make an object file from an assembler file.

Build rules

The following build targets are defined:

fpc_all

Builds all units and executables as well as loaders.

fpc_debug

The same as fpc_all, only with debug information included.

fpc_exes

Make all executables in EXEOBJECTS.

fpc_loaders

Make all files in LOADEROBJECTS.

fpc_packages

Make all packages that are needed to make the files.

fpc_shared

Make all units as dynamic libraries.

fpc_smart

Make all units as smartlinked units.

fpc_units

Make all units in UNITOBJECTS.

Cleaning rules

The following cleaning targets are defined:

fpc_clean

Cleans all files that result when fpc_all was made.

fpc_distclean

Is the same as both previous target commands, but also deletes all object, unit and assembler files that are present.

Archiving rules

The following archiving targets are defined:

fpc_zipdistinstall

Make a distribution install of the package.

fpc_zipinstall

Make an install zip of the compiled units of the package.

fpc_zipexampleinstall

Make a zip of the example files.

fpc_zipsourceinstall

Make a zip of the source files.

The zip is made using the ZIPEXE program. Under Linux, a .tar.gz file is created.

Installation rules

fpc_distinstall

Target which calls the install and exampleinstall targets.

fpc_install

Install the units.

fpc_sourceinstall

Install the sources, in case a distribution is made.

fpc_exampleinstall

Install the examples, in case a distribution is made.

Informative rules

There is only one target which produces information about the used variables, rules and targets: fpc_info.

The following information about the makefile is presented:

• general Configuration information: the location of the makefile, the compiler version, target OS, CPU.

• The directories, used by the compiler.

• All directories where files will be installed.

• All objects that will be made.

• All defined tools.
