This is the VMS version of GNU Make, updated by Hartmut Becker Changes are based on GNU make 3.82. This version was built and tested on OpenVMS V7.3 (VAX), V7.3-2 (Alpha) and V8.3-1H1 (I64). Build instructions Make a 1st version $ @makefile.com ! ignore any compiler and/or linker warning $ rena make.exe 1st-make.exe Use the 1st version to generate a 2nd version $ mc sys$disk:[]1st-make clean $ mc sys$disk:[]1st-make Verify your 2nd version $ rena make.exe 2nd-make.exe $ mc sys$disk:[]2nd-make clean $ mc sys$disk:[]2nd-make Changes (3.81.90) Michael Gehre (at VISTEC-SEMI dot COM) supplied a fix for a problem with timestamps of object modules in OLBs. The timestamps were not correctly adjusted to GMT based time, if the local VMS time was using a daylight saving algorithm and if daylight saving was switched off. John Eisenbraun (at HP dot COM) supplied fixes and and an enhancement to append output redirection in action lines. Rework of ctrl+c and ctrl+y handling. Fix a problem with cached strings, which showed on case-insensitive file systems. Build fixes for const-ified code in VMS specific sources. Build notes: - Try to avoid HP C V7.2-001, which has an incompatible change how __STDC__ is defined. This results at least in compile time warnings. - On V8.3-1H1, if you press Ctrl+C you may see a traceback, starting with %SYSTEM-F-CONTROLC, operation completed under CTRL/C %TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows image module routine line rel PC abs PC DECC$SHR C$SIGNAL gsignal 27991 0000000000001180 FFFFFFFF84AB2DA0 DECC$SHR C$SIGNAL raise 28048 0000000000001280 FFFFFFFF84AB2EA0 DECC$SHR C$SIGPENDING decc$$deliver_signals 12475 0000000000000890 FFFFFFFF84C13690 ... This looks like an incompatibility to the Alpha and VAX behavior, so it looks like a problem in I64 VMS version(s). - There is no clean build on VAX. In the environment I tested, I had to use GNU make's alloca which produced a couple of compile time warnings. It seems too much effort to work on a clean build on VAX. A note on appending the redirected output. With this change, a simple mechanism is implemented to make ">>" work in action lines. In VMS there is no simple feature like ">>" to have DCL command or program output redirected and appended to a file. GNU make for VMS already implements the redirection of output. If such a redirection is detected, an ">" on the action line, GNU make creates a DCL command procedure to execute the action and to redirect its output. Based on that, now ">>" is also recognized and a similar but different command procedure is created to implement the append. The main idea here is to create a temporary file which collects the output and which is appended to the wanted output file. Then the temporary file is deleted. This is all done in the command procedure to keep changes in make small and simple. This obviously has some limitations but it seems good enough compared with the current ">" implementation. (And in my opinion, redirection is not really what GNU make has to do.) With this approach, it may happen that the temporary file is not yet appended and is left in SYS$SCRATCH. The temporary file names look like "CMDxxxxx.". Any time the created command procedure can not complete, this happens. Pressing Ctrl+Y to abort make is one case. In case of Ctrl+Y the associated command procedure is left in SYS$SCRATCH as well. Its name is CMDxxxxx.COM. Change in the Ctrl+Y handling Ctrl+Y was: The CtrlY handler called $forcex for the current child. Ctrl+Y changed: The CtrlY handler uses $delprc to delete all children. This way also actions with DCL commands will be stopped. As before Ctrl+Y then sends SIGQUIT to itself, which is handled in common code. Change in deleteing temporary command files Temporary command files were deleted in the main line, after returning from the vms child termination handler. If Ctrl+C was pressed, the handler is called but did not return to main line. Now, temporary command files are deleted in the vms child termination handler. That deletes the them even if a Ctrl+C was pressed. The behavior of pressing Ctrl+C is not changed. It still has only an effect, after the current action is terminated. If that doesn't happen or takes too long, Ctrl+Y should be used instead. Changes (3.80) . In default.c define variable ARCH as IA64 for VMS on Itanium systems. . In makefile.vms avoid name collision for glob and globfree. In newer version of the VMS CRTL there are glob and globfree implemented. Compiling and linking may result in %ILINK-W-MULDEFLNKG, symbol DECC$GLOBFREE has subsequent linkage definition in module DECC$SHR file SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE;1 %ILINK-W-MULDEF, symbol DECC$GLOBFREE multiply defined in module DECC$SHR file SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECC$SHR.EXE;1 linker messages (and similar for DECC$GLOB). The messages just say, that globfree is a known CRTL whose name was mapped by the compiler to DECC$GLOBFREE. This is done in glob.c as well, so this name is defined twice. One possible solution is to use the VMS versions of glob and globfree. However, then the build environment needs to figure out if there is a new CRTL supporting these or not. This adds complexity. Even more, these functions return VMS file specifications, which is not expected by the other make sources. There is a switch at run time (a VMS logical DECC$GLOB_UNIX_STYLE), which can be set to get Unix style names. This may conflict with other software. The recommended solution for this is to set this switch just prior to calling main: in an initialization routine. This adds more complexity and more VMS specific code. It is easier to tell the compiler NOT to map the routine names with a simple change in makefile.vms. Some notes on case sensitive names in rules and on the disk. In the VMS template for CONFIG.H case sensitive rules can be enabled with defining WANT_CASE_SENSITIVE_TARGETS. For recent version of VMS there is a case sensitive file system: ODS5. To make use of that, additionally un-defining the HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS is required. As these are C macros, different versions of make need to be built to have any case sensitivity for VMS working. Unfortunately, for ODS5 disks that's not all. - Usually DCL upcases command line tokens (except strings) and usually the file system is case blind (similar to how Windows systems work) $ set proc/parse=extended/case=sensitive preserves lower and UPPER on the command line and (for this process and all sub-processes) enables case sensitivity in the file system - Usually the CRTL tries to reverse what DCL did with command line tokens, it lowercases all tokens (except strings) $ define DECC$ARGV_PARSE_STYLE enable passes (the now preserved) lower and UPPER from the command line to main() - Usually the CRTL upcases the arguments to open() and friends $ define DECC$EFS_CASE_PRESERVE enable preserves the names as is. It is important to know that not all VMS tools are ready for case sensitivity. With this setup some tools may not work as expected. The setup should not blindly be applied for all users in default login procedures. Example? The poor coding gives a compiler message, showing that there are different files: $ dir Directory ODS5DISK[HB] A.c;1 B.c;1 c.c;1 X.c;1 x.c;1 Total of 5 files. $ ods5make x.obj cc /obj=x.obj x.c foo(){lowercase_x();} ......^ %CC-I-IMPLICITFUNC, In this statement, the identifier "lowercase_x" is implicitly declared as a function. at line number 1 in file ODS5DISK[HB]x.c;1 $ mc SYS$SYSDEVICE:[HARTMUT.MAKE_3_80P]ods5make X.obj cc /obj=X.obj X.c foo() {UPPERCASE_X();} .......^ %CC-I-IMPLICITFUNC, In this statement, the identifier "UPPERCASE_X" is implicitly declared as a function. at line number 1 in file ODS5DISK[HB]X.c;1 $ dir Directory ODS5DISK[HB] A.c;1 B.c;1 c.c;1 X.c;1 x.c;1 X.obj;1 x.obj;1 Total of 7 files. $ This is the VMS port of GNU Make done by Hartmut.Becker@compaq.com. It is based on the specific version 3.77k and on 3.78.1. 3.77k was done by Klaus Kämpf , the code was based on the VMS port of GNU Make 3.60 by Mike Moretti. It was ported on OpenVMS/Alpha V7.1, DECC V5.7-006. It was re-build and tested on OpenVMS/Alpha V7.2, OpenVMS/VAX 7.1 and 5.5-2. Different versions of DECC were used. VAXC was tried: it fails; but it doesn't seem worth to get it working. There are still some PTRMISMATCH warnings during the compile. Although perl is working on VMS the test scripts don't work. The function $shell is still missing. There is a known bug in some of the VMS CRTLs. It is in the shipped versions of VMS V7.2 and V7.2-1 and in the currently (October 1999) available ECOs for VMS V7.1 and newer versions. It is fixed in versions shipped with newer VMS versions and all ECO kits after October 1999. It only shows up during the daylight saving time period (DST): stat() returns a modification time 1 hour ahead. This results in GNU make warning messages. For a just created source you will see: $ gmake x.exe gmake.exe;1: *** Warning: File 'x.c' has modification time in the future (940582863 > 940579269) cc /obj=x.obj x.c link x.obj /exe=x.exe gmake.exe;1: *** Warning: Clock skew detected. Your build may be incomplete. New in 3.78.1: Fix a problem with automatically remaking makefiles. GNU make uses an execve to restart itself after a successful remake of the makefile. On UNIX systems execve replaces the running program with a new one and resets all signal handling to the default. On VMS execve creates a child process, signal and exit handlers of the parent are still active, and, unfortunately, corrupt the exit code from the child. Fix in job.c: ignore SIGCHLD. Added some switches to reflect latest features of DECC. Modifications in makefile.vms. Set some definitions to reflect latest features of DECC. Modifications in config.h-vms (which is copied to config.h). Added extern strcmpi declaration to avoid 'implicitly declared' messages. Modification in make.h. Default rule for C++, conditionals for gcc (GCC_IS_NATIVE) or DEC/Digital/ Compaq c/c++ compilers. Modifications in default.c. Usage of opendir() and friends, suppress file version. Modifications in dir.c. Added VMS specific code to handle ctrl+c and ctrl+y to abort make. Modifications in job.c. Added support to have case sensitive targets and dependencies but to still use case blind file names. This is especially useful for Java makefiles on VMS: .SUFFIXES : .SUFFIXES : .class .java .java.class : javac "$< HelloWorld.class : HelloWorld.java A new macro WANT_CASE_SENSITIVE_TARGETS in config.h-vms was introduced. It needs to be enabled to get this feature; default is disabled. The macro HAVE_CASE_INSENSITIVE_FS must not be touched: it is still enabled. Modifications in file.c and config.h-vms. Bootstrap make to start building make is still makefile.com, but make needs to be re-made with a make to make a correct version: ignore all possible warnings, delete all objects, rename make.exe to a different name and run it. Made some minor modifications to the bootstrap build makefile.com. This is the VMS port of GNU Make. It is based on the VMS port of GNU Make 3.60 by Mike Moretti. This port was done by Klaus Kämpf There is first-level support available from proGIS Software, Germany. Visit their web-site at http://www.progis.de to get information about other vms software and forthcoming updates to gnu make. New for 3.77: /bin/sh style I/O redirection is supported. You can now write lines like mcr sys$disk:[]program.exe < input.txt > output.txt &> error.txt Makefile variables are looked up in the current environment. You can set symbols or logicals in DCL and evaluate them in the Makefile via $(). Variables defined in the Makefile override VMS symbols/logicals ! Functions for file names are working now. See the GNU Make manual for $(dir ...) and $(wildcard ...). Unix-style and VMS-style names are supported as arguments. The default rules are set up for GNU C. Building an executable from a single source file is as easy as 'make file.exe'. The variable $(ARCH) is predefined as ALPHA or VAX resp. Makefiles for different VMS systems can now be written by checking $(ARCH) as in ifeq ($(ARCH),ALPHA) $(ECHO) "On the Alpha" else $(ECHO) "On the VAX" endif Command lines of excessive length are correctly broken and written to a batch file in sys$scratch for later execution. There's no limit to the lengths of commands (and no need for .opt files :-) any more. Empty commands are handled correctly and don't end in a new DCL process. New for 3.76: John W. Eaton has updated the VMS port to support libraries and VPATH. To build Make, simply type @makefile. This should compile all the necessary files and link Make. There is also a file called makefile.vms. If you already have GNU Make built you can just use Make with this makefile to rebuild. Here are some notes about GNU Make for VMS: The cd command is supported if it's called as $(CD). This invokes the 'builtin_cd' command which changes the directory. Calling 'set def' doesn't do the trick, since a sub-shell is spawned for this command, the directory is changed *in this sub-shell* and the sub-shell ends. Libraries are not supported. They were in GNU Make 3.60 but somehow I didn't care porting the code. If there is enough interest, I'll do it at some later time. The variable $^ separates files with commas instead of spaces (It's the natural thing to do for VMS). See defaults.c for VMS default suffixes and my definitions for default rules and variables. The shell function is not implemented yet. Load average routines haven't been implemented for VMS yet. The default include directory for including other makefiles is SYS$SYSROOT:[SYSLIB] (I don't remember why I didn't just use SYS$LIBRARY: instead; maybe it wouldn't work that way). The default makefiles make looks for are: makefile.vms, gnumakefile, makefile., and gnumakefile. . The stat() function and handling of time stamps in VMS is broken, so I replaced it with a hack in vmsfunctions.c. I will provide a full rewrite somewhere in the future. Be warned, the time resolution inside make is less than what vms provides. This might be a problem on the faster Alphas. You can use a : in a filename only if you precede it with a backslash ('\'). E.g.- hobbes\:[bogas.files] Make ignores success, informational, or warning errors (-S-, -I-, or -W-). But it will stop on -E- and -F- errors. (unless you do something to override this in your makefile, or whatever). Remote stuff isn't implemented yet. Multiple line DCL commands, such as "if" statements, must be put inside command files. You can run a command file by using \@. VMS changes made for 3.74.3 Lots of default settings are adapted for VMS. See default.c. Long command lines are now converted to command files. Comma (',') as a separator is now allowed. See makefile.vms for an example. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright (C) 1996-2013 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This file is part of GNU Make.
