                     28: RANDOM THINGS WORTH KNOWING:
                     29:
                     30: The files are simply C-style #include files, and pretty much behave like
                     31: you'd expect.  The syntax is slightly different in that a single '.' is
                     32: used instead of the hash mark, i.e. ".include <bsd.prog.mk>".
                     33:
                     34: One difference that will save you lots of debugging time is that inclusion
                     35: of the file is normally done at the *end* of the Makefile.  The reason for
                     36: this is because .mk files often modify variables and behavior based on the
                     37: values of variables set in the Makefile.  To make this work, remember that
                     38: the FIRST target found is the target that is used, i.e. if the Makefile has:
                     39:
                     40:        a:
                     41:                echo a
                     42:        a:
                     43:                echo a number two
                     44:
                     45: the command "make a" will echo "a".  To make things confusing, the SECOND
                     46: variable assignment is the overriding one, i.e. if the Makefile has:
                     47:
                     48:        a=      foo
                     49:        a=      bar
                     50:
                     51:        b:
                     52:                echo ${a}
                     53:
                     54: the command "make b" will echo "bar".  This is for compatibility with the
                     55: way the V7 make behaved.
                     56:
1.23      espie      57: To make things even more confusing, make uses lazy evaluation. All
                     58: variables are expanded only when needed. Which means that, in
                     59:
                     60:        a=      foo
                     61:
                     62:        b: $(a)
                     63:                echo $(.ALLSRC)
                     64:                echo $(a)
                     65:
                     66:        foo:
                     67:                touch foo
                     68:
                     69:        a=      bar
                     70:
                     71: the command "make b" will echo "foo"; echo "bar".  The first $(a) means
                     72: "foo", because it's needed to generate the dependency rule when it's read,
                     73: but the second $(a) is only expanded when needed, at which point a contains
                     74: bar.
                     75:
1.1       deraadt    76: It's fairly difficult to make the BSD .mk files work when you're building
1.16      espie      77: multiple programs in a single directory.  It's a lot easier to split up the
1.1       deraadt    78: programs than to deal with the problem.  Most of the agony comes from making
1.16      espie      79: the "obj" directory stuff work right, not because we switched to a new version
1.1       deraadt    80: of make.  So, don't get mad at us, figure out a better way to handle multiple
                     81: architectures so we can quit using the symbolic link stuff.  (Imake doesn't
                     82: count.)
                     83:
                     84: The file .depend in the source directory is expected to contain dependencies
                     85: for the source files.  This file is read automatically by make after reading
                     86: the Makefile.
                     87:
                     88: The variable DESTDIR works as before.  It's not set anywhere but will change
                     89: the tree where the file gets installed.
                     90:
                     91: The profiled libraries are no longer built in a different directory than
                     92: the regular libraries.  A new suffix, ".po", is used to denote a profiled
                     93: object.
