[fpc-pascal]RE: make files

[EXAMPLE]

#!/bin/bash

all:
	ppc386 somefile.pas


debug:
	ppc386 -vewh -gl -Crtoi somefile.pp


clean:
	rm -f *.o *.ppu


install: all
	cp somefile /usr/local/bin


uninstall:
	rm -f /usr/local/bin/somefile


[/EXAMPLE]


Notes:
  The #!/bin/bash line isn't really necessary unless you 
  have some shell-specific commands in your makefile.
  ( It is best to avoid this if possible )

  The indentation of the commands below each section MUST
  be done with tabs, not spaces. This always catches me 
  because I have have tab emulation turned on in my editor.

 Identifiers after the colon on a section line insure that
 the other section is up to date.

  The word "all" isn't magic, it is just conventional.
  If you invoke make without any arguments, it will default
  to the first section, regardless of what it is named.
