Dmake is a make utility similar to GNU make or the Workshop dmake. This utility has an irregular syntax but is available for Linux, Solaris, Win32 and other platforms. It is used by the OpenOffice?.org build system.

This version of dmake is a modified version of Dennis Vadura's GPL'ed dmake. The original sources were available on http://dmake.wticorp.com. As this site has not been reachable for some time the OpenOffice?.org team adopted this utility and is continuing its development in OOo's Version Control System.

Added features in dmake:

smaller/greater arithmetic like:

  .IF 400<=200

Boolean expressions "or", "and" and nesting thereof:

  .IF (("$(OS)"=="MACOSX"&&"$(COM)"=="GCC")||"$(OS)"=="LINUX"||"$(OS)"=="SOLARIS") && "$(GUIBASE)"=="unx"
