[comp.sys.atari.st] Trying to use GNU MAKE with Lattice C

R.A.W.McGuigan@newcastle.ac.uk (R.A.W. McGuigan) (02/21/90)

Hello  - this is my first posting so I hope I'm doing things right?!


I recently obtained a copy of GNU Make for the Atari ST. I use Make quite a
lot in my work so I was interested to see what it was like on the ST.

Now, I have Lattice C (V3.03). It comes with the GST linker, which is driven
by a script file, C.LNK, which contains a list of binary files to be linked.
It seems to me that the idea of using Make and the C.LNK file are mutually
exclusive as surely the list of files to be linked, and the linker itself,
should be managed by Make from a makefile. Also, the GST linker does not
examine any out-of-date dependencies in the C.LNK file, so it would be
preferable (in my mind anyway) to use Make and a makefile to handle (both
compilation and) linking, rather than the Lattice/GST linker method.

Is anybody out there using a similar setup? Advice please?

Thanks,

Andy
