Hi all, I need to get a tool or something which gives the dependency graph by looking at a makefile... even if not a dependency graph,.... it should deduce some information... do you guys know any such tool, or something.. please help..
If you had simply read "man make", you would have found "-p".
HI Dirk,
I actually used make -p, but.... u know, the o/p is aa whole dump of
database,.... which is not easily comprehendable.... or say how to use
it??, i.e. how to look for useful info in it..??
Actually I have to find out the dependencies.. and main goal is to find
out those files which are not dependent on any other files...like
that.....

I had what I thought was a difficult makefile question a couple weeks
ago trying to create optional dependancies. I found a forum at CM
Crossroads called Ask Mr. Make which it turns out is moderated by John
Graham-Cumming (creator of gnumake) No more problems for me
Mr. Make can be found at -- http://www.cmcrossroads.com/compone...id,180/board,92

Use awk/grep or some perl magic to filter out the relevant information.

The files which don't have dependencies can be found by something like:
make -p 2>&1|grep ":$" |grep -v "^#"|grep -v "^\."
The first grep looks for lines ending with ":", the second one filters out
the comments, and the last one filters out the suffix rules. You may want
to refine the filter further.

That makes sense. GraphViz is the weapon of choice for visualizing these
kinds of things. Extra bonus points if someone has already written the logic
for massaging the data into GraphViz definitions, like in this case.
