BDEPEND(1)

NAME
bdepend - create Bigloo dependencies in makefiles

SYNOPSIS
bdepend [ options ] sourcefile ...

DESCRIPTION
bdepend program reads each sourcefile in sequence and parses it to find the module include and import module directives. bdepend computes the transitive closure of the import relationship. That is, it is sufficient to provide bdepend with a single Bigloo file that imports all the project file (e.g. the "main" file.) Every file that a sourcefile includes, directly or indirectly, is what bdepend calls a dependency. These dependencies are then written to a makefile in such a way that make(1) will know which object files must be recompiled when a dependency has changed. By default, bdepend writes its output on the standard output device. If bdepend is provided with a -o makefile option, it will update the makefile file. That is, it will search the makefile for the line:

 # bdepend start (don't edit)

and

 # bdepend stop

Dependencies will be written in between these two lines.

OPTIONS

file
    Is an file implementing a module. Afile reads that file to discover the name of the implemented module.

-search-path <path>
    Add path to the directory list read for searching Bigloo source files.

-exclude-path <path>
    Exclude path from the directory list read for searching Bigloo source files.

-suffix <suf>
    Adds suf to the bmake source file suffixes list. Default suffixes are "scm", "sch" and "bgl".

-v  Verbose mode

-o <makefile>
    The name of the makefile file to be updated

EXAMPLE
Normally, bdepend will be used in a makefile target so that typing ``make bdepend'' will bring the dependencies up to date for the makefile. For example,

   MAIN=foo.scm

   SRCS = $(MAIN) bar.scm gee.scm

   bdepend:

       bdepend -o Makefile $(MAIN)
