NEW features of smake-1.2a49: This is the release candidate for smake-1.2-final - Smake now supports to be compiled in 64 bit Mode in SGI IRIX using both the SGI compiler and GCC: - The common code for Suffix macro substitution and Pattern macro substitution has been fixed to correctly distibguish between both methods and to no longer try to expand % in suffix macro substitutions. This allows to use things like: smake COPTX=-errwarn=%all to work as expected. - Smake now includes a predefined macro called "NUMBER_SIGN" that is initialized with "#" to allow to use the comment character inside makefiles. - The man page has been enhanced again. - Avoid a GCC warning with getargs.c TODO: Smake would need to implement an undocumented feature from historical UNIX make implementations that is used by Xorg at one place: target: *.o do-something-with *.o Which expands *.o from the filesystem. Meanwhile, use smake -N to compile Xorg. After pattern expansion has been implemented, smake-1.2 final will be released. P.P.S.: As Xorg changed it's build system, we may delay this feature to something past 1.2-final. WARNING: Do not use 'winzip' to extract the tar file! Winzip cannot extract symbolic links correctly.
