SYNOPSIS ppdep [-DDefine] [-oFile] [-eext] [-V] [-h] [A[call]] file Description ppdep dumps the dependencies of a unit in a format that can be understood by GNU make output. It takes care of dependencies both in the interface and implemntation sec- tion of the unit, and it can handle conditional defines. Usage You can invoke ppdep with as the only required argument the name of the file (program or unit) whose dependecies you wish to list. You don't need to specify an extension, by default .pp is assumed. Options ppdep has several options, which are case insensitive: -acall This option tells ppdep to generate a compiler call for the makefile. The compiler call will be gener- ated for each file that is found in the current directory. If you do no specify an explicit com- piler call, ppc386 is used. -dkeyword This option defines keyword that can be used to verify conditional defines. ppdep understands conditional defines, you should use this switch if the uses clause of the programs or units can contain conditional defines. -eext This allows you to specify a different extension for the unit files. By default, .ppu is assumed. This extension is written to the makefile. -f[call] This option tells ppdep to generate a compiler call for the makefile. The compiler call will be gener- ated only for the file that was specified on the ppdep command line. If you want to generate a com- piler call for each file found, use the -a option. If you do no specify an explicit compiler call, ppc386 is used. -h Shows a short help screen. FreePascal 9 June 1999 1 ppdep(1) Free Pascal unit dependency tracking ppdep(1) -ofile This option allows you to specify a file to which the dependencies should be written. By default the dependencies are written to standard output. If you specify this option, the dependencies are writ- ten to file instead. -v Writes some diagnostic messages. If you use this option, be sure to use -o as well, since the diag- nostic messages will also be written to standard output. SEE ALSO ppc386(1) ppumove(1) make(1) FreePascal 9 June 1999 2
