Makefile debugger?

Post by ch.. » Wed, 17 May 2000 04:00:00



Anyone know about a makefile de*? (preferably graphical)

I'm actually trying to build gcc-2.95.2 using the Cygwin 1.0 Unix-like
environment under Windows NT 4.0 (just so you know). The makefiles of
course are quite large and complicated. I ran into a problem during the
build and would like to single-step, set breakpoints, etc. (all the good
debugging stuff). I know of a bash shell de*, which was helpful for
debugging bash scripts, but now it seems I need one for makefiles.

I did a "man make" and saw no relevant options, and have scanned
Deja.com a bit and have not seen anything yet.

If you don't know, can you recommend a better newsgroup for this post?

TIA for any help

Hmm, I just use 'make' to debug my makefiles.
