NAME

SYNOPSIS

10       ppdep [-DDefine] [-oFile] [-eext] [-V] [-h] [A[call]] file

Description

14       ppdep  dumps  the dependencies of a unit in a format that can be under‐
15       stood by GNU make. It writes these dependencies to standard output.  It
16       takes  care  of  dependencies  both in the interface and implementation
17       section of the unit, and it can handle conditional defines.

Usage

21       You can invoke ppdep with as the only required argument the name of the
22       file  (program  or  unit) whose dependecies you wish to list. You don't
23       need to specify an extension, by default .pp is assumed.

Options

27       ppdep has several options, which are case insensitive:
28
29
30       -acall This option tells ppdep to generate  a  compiler  call  for  the
31              makefile. The compiler call will be generated for each file that
32              is found in the current directory.  If  you  do  no  specify  an
33              explicit compiler call, ppc386 is used.
34
35       -dkeyword
36              This  option  defines  keyword that can be used to verify condi‐
37              tional defines.   ppdep  understands  conditional  defines,  you
38              should  use  this  switch  if the uses clause of the programs or
39              units can contain conditional defines.
40
41       -eext  This allows you to specify a different extension  for  the  unit
42              files.   By  default, .ppu is assumed. This extension is written
43              to the makefile.
44
45       -f[call]
46              This option tells ppdep to generate  a  compiler  call  for  the
47              makefile.  The compiler call will be generated only for the file
48              that was specified on the ppdep command line.  If  you  want  to
49              generate a compiler call for each file found, use the -a option.
50              If you do no specify an explicit compiler call, ppc386 is used.
51
52       -h     Shows a short help screen.
53
54       -ofile This option allows you to specify a file to which the  dependen‐
55              cies  should be written. By default the dependencies are written
56              to standard output.  If you specify this option,  the  dependen‐
57              cies are written to file
58
59              instead.
60
61       -v     Writes some diagnostic messages. If you use this option, be sure
62              to use -o as well, since the diagnostic messages  will  also  be
63              written to standard output.
