I am grass green on makefiles and am trying my first one.
With the lines below from the makefile, I have tried:
smake /Fmakefile cleanall
which works, but
smake /Fmakefile clean
does not. It will clean out ALLOBJS, but not ALLBIN.
I have read all 26 pages of the "Managing Code with SMAKE" html file, and
cannot find an answer. (It may be there, but I do not see it.)
How do I get smake to work on two macros at the same time as I am trying to
do with "clean"? Or is it not possible?
Obviously, I could use "cleanall", or enter both cleanobjs and cleanbin on
the command line. Having spent a inordinate amount of time on this problem,
however, I am curious.
ALLOBJS = cross.obj crosstest.obj swap.obj string1.obj argv.
ALLBIN: = cross.exe swap.exe string1.exe argv.execharset.exe hello.exe
cleanobjs:
-del *.obj
cleanbin:
-del *.exe
cleanall:
-del *.obj *.exe
clean:
-del $(ALLOBJS)
-del $(ALLBIN)

I guess there is extra ':' in your 2nd line.
Anyway the following works as expected:
-------------
ALLOBJS = cross.obj crosstest.obj swap.obj string1.obj argv.
ALLBIN = cross.exe swap.exe string1.exe argv.execharset.exe hello.exe
cleanobjs:
del *.obj
cleanbin:
del *.exe
cleanall:
echo cleanall
del *.obj *.exe
clean:
echo clean
del $(ALLOBJS)
del $(ALLBIN)
-------------
With command line "smake -f test.mak cleanall" it cleans files and prints
"cleanall".
With command line "smake -f test.mak clean" it cleans files and prints
"clean".

Have you got Oram & Talbott's "Projects with make" (O'Reilly)? It's old but really good for doing makefiles.

Wow, you all are sure on the ball. Two answers in less than an hour, and three in two hours. The way I finally found the error was by trying "smake /Fmakefile" and it said it couldn't make =. Yes, I have the Oram & Talbott make book. I have just begun reading it. It is based on UNIX, so I have only referred to it occasionally until now. But I will go into it in depth immediately. I am doing a lot of small exercises, where I compile a group of programs over and over. A makefile sure helps, I have discovered. And dmc is the fastest compiler that I have seen -- by far. It is great! Thank you all very much, I had spent hours on that bug.

Jim You're more than welcome. :) I've had occasion this week to use DM's make for the first time, and there are a number of differences with the one I've previously favoured (Borland's). Walter, is it possible to create a separate newsgroup - make ? - so that all the make information can be centralised?

There's been a lot of traffic recently on smake, but that's pretty rare.
