NAME
Makefile.fpc - Configuration file for fpcmake.
SYNOPSIS
Makefile.fpc is a configuration file for the fpcmake command. Starting from this file a Makefile is
created to compile Free Pascal units and programs.
DESCRIPTION
Makefile.fpc is a plain ASCII file that contains a number of sections as in a Windows ini file. The
following sections are recognized (in alphabetical order):
clean Specifies rules for cleaning the directory of units and programs. The following entries are
recognized:
units names of all units that should be removed when cleaning. Don't specify extensions, the
makefile will append these by itself.
files names of files that should be removed. Specify full filenames.
defaults
The defaults section contains some default settings. The following keywords are recognized:
dirs
info
install
Contains instructions for installation of your units and programs. The following keywods are
recognized:
dirprefix
the directory below wchich all installs are done. This corresponds to the --prefix argument
to GNU configure It is used for the installation of programs and units. By default, this is
/usr on linux, and /pp on all other platforms.
dirbase
The directory that is used as the base directory for the installation of units. Default
this is dirprefix appended with /lib/fpc/FPC_VERSION for linux or simply the dirprefix on
other platforms.
Units will be installed in the subdirectory units/$(OS_TARGET) of the dirbase entry.
libs This section specifies what units should be merged into a library, and what external libraries are
needed. It can contain the following keywords:
libname
the name of the library that should be created.
libunits
a comma-separated list of units that should be moved into one library.
needgcclib
a boolean value that specifies whether the gcc library is needed. This will make sure that
the path to the GCC library is inserted in the library search path.
needotherlib
a boolean value that tells the makefile that other library directories will be needed.
packages
Which packages must be used. This section can contain the following keywords:
packages
A comma-separated list of packages that are needed to compile the targets. Valid for all
platforms. In order to differentiate between platforms, you can prepend the keyword
packages with the OS you are compiling for, e.g. linuxpackages if you want the makefile to
use the listed packages on linux only.
fcl This is a boolean value (0 or 1) that indicates whether the FCL is used.
rtl This is a boolean value (0 or 1) that indicates whether the RTL should be recompiled.
postsettings
Anything that is in this section will be inserted as-is in the makefile after the makefile rules
that are generated by fpcmake, but before the general configuration rules. In it, you cannot use
variables that are defined by fpcmake rules, but you can define additional rules and configuration
variables.
presettings
Anything that is in this section will be inserted as-is in the makefile before the makefile target
rules that are generated by fpcmake. This means that you cannot use any variables that are
normally defined by
rules In this section you can insert dependency rules and any other targets you wish to have. Do not
insert 'default rules' here.
sections
Here you can specify which 'rule sections' should be included in the Makefile. The sections
consist of a series of boolean keywords; each keyword decides whether a particular section will be
written to the makefile. By default, all sections are written.
You can have the following boolean keywords in this section.
none If this is set to true, then no sections are written.
units If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for compiling units.
exes If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for compiling executables.
loaders
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for assembling assembler files.
examples
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for compiling examples.
package
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for making packages.
compile
If set to false , fpcmake omits the generic rules for compiling pascal files.
depend If set to false , fpcmake omits the dependency rules.
install
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for installing everything.
sourceinstall
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for installing the sources.
zipinstall
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for installing archives.
clean If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for cleaning the directories.
libs If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for making libraries.
command
If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for composing the command-line based on the
various variables.
exts If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for making libraries.
dirs If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for running make in subdirectories..
tools If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for running some tools as the erchiver, UPX and
zip.
info If set to false , fpcmake omits the rules for generating information.
targets
In this section you can define the various targets. The following keywords can be used there:
dirs A space separated list of directories where make should also be run.
examples
A space separated list of example programs that need to be compiled when the user asks to
compile the examples. Do not specify an extension, the extension will be appended.
loaders
A space separated list of names of assembler files that must be assembled. Don't specify
the extension, the extension will be appended.
programs
A space separated list of program names that need to be compiled. Do not specify an
extension, the extension will be appended.
rst a list of rst files that needs to be converted to .po files for use with GNU gettext and
internationalization routines.
units A space separated list of unit names that need to be compiled. Do not specify an extension,
just the name of the unit as it would appear un a uses clause is sufficient.
tools In this section you can specify which tools are needed. Definitions to use each of the listed
tools will be inserted in the makefile, depending on the setting in this section.
Each keyword is a boolean keyword; you can switch the use of a tool on or off with it.
The following keywords are recognised:
toolppdep
Use ppdep the dependency tool. True by default.
toolppumove
Use ppumove the Free Pascal unit mover. True by default.
toolppufiles
Use the ppufile tool to determine dependencies of unit files. True by default.
toolsed
Use sed the stream line editor. False by default.
tooldata2inc
use the data2inc tool to create include files from data files. False by default.
tooldiff
Use the GNU diff tool. False by default.
toolcmp
Use the cmp file comparer tool False by default.
toolupx
Use the upx executable packer True by default.
tooldate
use the date date displaying tool. True by default.
toolzip
Use the zip file archiver. This is used by the zip targets. True by default.
zip This section can be used to make zip files from the compiled units and programs. By default all
compiled units are zipped. The zip behaviour can be influencd with the presettings and
postsettings sections.
The following keywords can be used in this unit:
zipname
this file is the name of the zip file that will be produced.
ziptarget
is the name of a makefile target that will be executed before the zip is made. By default
this is the install target.
