.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
|
\fBcheatmake\fP is used to save time when recompiling. It can fool \fBmake\fP
|
||
|
|
into skipping files that haven't changed in a meaningful way. This can be
|
||
|
|
used for instance when you change a comment in a file but none of the actual
|
||
|
|
code.
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
|
||
|
|
.SH OPTIONS
|
||
|
|
The different modes of operation are as follows.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fBhidechange\fP \fIfile\fP
|
||
|
|
Hides the fact that the given file has changed by moving its timestamp
|
||
|
|
back into the past. Use this option with care!
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fBshow\fP
|
||
|
|
Lists which files make currently needs to rebuild.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
\fBwhy\fP \fIfile\fP
|
||
|
|
Explains why make must rebuild the given file.
|
||
|
|
.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
|
||
|
|
One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the
|
||
|
|
source
|
||
|
|
directory is different from the build directory.
|
||
|
|
If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory,
|
||
|
|
the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
OBJ_SUBDIR
|
||
|
|
Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the
|
||
|
|
source directory. For instance, if the source directory is \fIkdesdk\fP
|
||
|
|
and the build directory is \fIkdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR
|
||
|
|
should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP.
|
||
|
|
.TP
|
||
|
|
OBJ_REPLACEMENT
|
||
|
|
A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory
|
||
|
|
into the build directory.
|
||
|
|
For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/kdesdk\fP and the
|
||
|
|
build directory is \fI~/src/kdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could
|
||
|
|
be set to \fIs#kdesdk#kdesdk-obj#\fP.
