:Hi:
:
:Couple of newbie queries about DragonFlyBSD make:
:
:Is DragonFlyBSD make a derivative of pmake ?
Not that I know of. From outside the BSD world our
make is bsdmake.
:While using DragonFlyBSD make utility on a source tree
:(without -j option) with a .depend file,
:is a single shell executed for all dependency commands
:or is a shell executed per command ?
:
:thanks

I believe a shell is exec'd for each command. The simplest
commands are simply exec'd directly. You can put complex
bourne shell command sequences on a single line to run them
in a single shell if you want. That sort of thing is sprinkled
around the Makefiles but generally avoided if possible.
