NAME

       fpcmake - The Free Pascal makefile constructor program.

SYNOPSIS

       fpcmake [-Ttarget] [-pwhrqvV] [filename [filename [filename]]]

DESCRIPTION

       fpcmake  reads  a  Makefile.fpc and converts it to a Makefile suitable for reading by GNU make to compile
       your projects. It is similar in functionality to GNU autoconf or Imake for making X projects.

USAGE

       fpcmake accepts filenames of makefile description files as it's command-line arguments. For each of these
       files it will create a Makefile in the same directory where the file is located, overwriting any existing
       file with the same name.

       If no options are given, it just attempts to read the file Makefile.fpc  in  the  current  directory  and
       tries  to  construct a Makefile from it.  any previously existing Makefile will be erased. See fpcmake(5)
       for a description of the format of the Makefile.fpc file.

OPTIONS

       fpcmake has a small number of options to control it's behaviour:

       -h     Emit a short help text describing the use of fpcmake

       -p     If this option is given, a package description file is generated as well as a makefile.

       -q     Tells fpcmake to be more quiet, i.e. emit less messages.

       -r     If this option is given, fpcmake will recursively scan subdirectories for makefile.fpc  files  and
              generate makefiles for them.

       -T     Specifies  the  targets for which fpcmake should generate makefiles. This can be a comma-separated
              list of target systems, or the special identifier all which indicates that a  makefile  should  be
              generated for all supported platforms.

       -v     This option instructs fpcmake to be more verbose.

       -V     Print fpcmake version and exit.

       -w     This is the standard option and tells fpcmake to generate a makefile.
