NAME

6       cheatmake - fool make into not rebuilding certain files
7

SYNOPSIS

9       cheatmake [hidechangefile] [show] [whyfile]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       cheatmake is used to save time when recompiling. It can fool make into
13       skipping files that haven't changed in a meaningful way. This can be
14       used for instance when you change a comment in a file but none of the
15       actual code.
16
17       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS

20       hidechange file
21           Hides the fact that file was changed by setting the timestamp into
22           the past. Use with care!
23
24       show
25           Lists what files make currently needs to rebuild
26
27       why file
28           Explains why make must rebuild file
29

ENVIRONMENT

31       One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the
32       source directory is different from the build directory. If the build
33       directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, the simpler
34       variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
35
36       OBJ_SUBJDIR
37           Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of
38           the source directory. For instance, if the source directory is
39           kdesdk and the build directory is kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then
40           OBJ_SUBDIR should be set to obj-i386-linux.
41
42       OBJ_REPLACEMENT
43           A sed expression that is used to transform the source directory
44           into the build directory. For instance, if the source directory is
45           kdesdk/obj-i386-linux, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be set to
46           s#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#.
