The Command
Line
You can combine options to make, as in the example
make -f foo.mk func1.obj func2.obj
Running MKS Make
The previous sections gave you a glimpse of MKS Make’s versatility.
You can specify a number of options and items on the command line
to modify its behavior. In general, your command lines should
conform to the format
make [options] [macro definitions] [target…]
You can specify a number of options on the command line. Options
take the form of a single letter, prefixed with a dash. MKS Make
distinguishes between uppercase and lowercase on the command
lines, so it would treat the -e option and the -E option differently.
If you want to specify several options on the same command line, you
can bundle them together following a single dash. For example
make -n -u
make -nu
are considered identical.
Some options require an additional argument, as you saw previously
with the -f option. You can bundle one of these options with others
on the command line; however, it must appear last in the bundle, to
allow for its argument. These lines are considered identical:
make -nuf foo.bar
make -n -u -f foo.bar
You may also append an argument directly to an option, although
this syntax is now obsolete
make -nuffoo.bar
The following table briefly explains some of the most common
command-line options. For the complete list of options, see the man
page for the make command.
