Hi!!

Does anyone know of any kind of de* for makefiles?

It takes a lot of time to find out what a makefile is doing
(especially if it is a big one). And if you have problems,
it is a bothering task trying to find the error.

Thanx/Alvaro

make itself usually has a debug mode, e.g. make -d. See the man page.

Yes, I've been already using that mode, but when you have a lot of
dependencies in the makefile it is difficult to find the place in
the file where the error is.

I was wondering if there is some kind of tool to execute "line by line"
a makefile, jumping from one dependency to another (i.e. if you are
using in your makefile macros, it will show you all of them in the same
order they are used).

Here's an idea... make make with -g and then step through with a
de* (gdb, dbx)...(!)
