<h2>Dmake</h2>

<p>Dmake is a make utility similar to <tt>GNU make</tt>
or the Workshop <tt>dmake</tt>.
This utility has an irregular syntax but is available for Linux,
Solaris, Win32 and other platforms. It&nbsp;is&nbsp;used by the
OpenOffice.org build system.</p>

<p>This version of <tt>dmake</tt>
is a modified version of Dennis Vadura's GPL'ed <tt>dmake</tt>.
The original sources were available on
	<a href="http://dmake.wticorp.com/">http://dmake.wticorp.com</a>.
As this site has not been reachable for some time the OpenOffice.org
team adopted this utility but all development on it has been abandoned.</p>

The sources can still be found on GitHub and it can be downloaded
the stand-alone
<a href="https://github.com/jimjag/dmake">Dmake Repository</a>.

	
<p>Added features in dmake (outdated):</p>

<ul>

  <li>
smaller/greater arithmetic like: <br>

    <code>.IF 400&lt;=200</code>
  </li>

  <li>Boolean expressions "or", "and" and nesting thereof:<br>

    <code>.IF
(("$(OS)"=="MACOSX"&amp;&amp;"$(COM)"=="GCC")||"$(OS)"=="LINUX"||"$(OS)"=="SOLARIS")
&amp;&amp; "$(GUIBASE)"=="unx"</code></li>

</ul>

Those are only two examples, read the NEWS file (find links below) for more
features and changes.

<p><b>Note: Beside fixed bugs the dmake versions are downward compatible.</b>
