- Many versions of make support a .DEFAULT target which is called when a
- dependcy can not be satisfyed. If the BSD make has it try something like:
-
- .DEFAULT:
- co -u $<
-
- (I think that's the right $thing)
-
- This will not remove the stuff afterward. To do that run "rcsclean" when
- tjhe make is done (I am not sure ghhow to automate thatwithout editing all the
- makefiles...)
-
- Some make's have a .BEFORE and .AFTER, the .BEFORE will be called even if
- the file exists, so you need to do something more like
-
- .BEFORE:
- yes n | co -u $<
-
- The "yes n|" will answer no to the question "Do you want to overwrite
- existing file foo" if foo exists. You could have .AFTER do a limited
- form of rcsclean.
-
- If the BSD make doesn't have either then you have to get messy. Do NOT
- make a RCS directory (which you SHOULD if you don't need to do this, it reduces
- clutter). Then instruct RCS to use a .suffix (I am assuming .rcs) rather
- then the current ,v ot %v suffix. Add some dot rules like:
-
- .rcs.c:
- co -u $<
- .rcs.s:
- co -u $<
- and so on...
