Does anybody have a facility similar to the Unix Make command on DEC VMS?
Source code in C, DCL or other languages would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Razi

I hope this isn't too commercial for the list, but... My company, The Boston Software Works, sells and supports a product called BSW-Make which is a MAKE utility for VMS.

About three years ago I wrote a version of Make for the Software Tools package. Like the other tools, Make is written in Ratfor. The tools have fallen into disuse here since we discovered Unix, but the code is still around somewhere. I would be happy to locate it and send it to you if you want. -- Joel Shprentz Phone: (703) 848-7305 BDM Corporation Uucp: seismo!bdmrrr!shprentz 7915 Jones Branch Drive shprentz@bdmrrr.bdm.com McLean, Virginia 22102

DEC has two layered products for code and module management: MMS (Module Management System) Provides a make-like facility. CMS (Code Management System) Lets you 'check-in' and 'check-out' source code. Hope this helps. +---------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mark H.

There are two version of a unix like make in the PD. One is a V7 clone (I don't know if runs on VMS, anybody else know?), the other runs under VMS and MS-DOS (I use it). Both of these are available from comp.sources.unix. If you haven't access to an archive site. Or can't FTP it, I can provide a direct uucp link to my system (in Mission Viejo, CA), and you can snarf the VMS,MS-DOS version! -- Name: Dave Arnold USmail: 26561 Fresno, Mission Viejo, Ca, 92691 USA DDD: Home: +1 714 586 5894, Work: +1 714 999 3482 UUCP: ...!seismo!uunet!arnold!dave

Hi all. Since there's been a flurry of questions about this, let me point out that Marty Sasaki (uucp: harvard!sasaki, arpanet:sasaki@harvard.harvard.edu, bitnet: sasaki@harvunxh) has written a make for VMS. He has sent me the following information: > In any case, there are two make programs on harvard.harvard.edu > available via anonymous FTP. The files are in ~ftp/vms/make and > ~ftp/vms/makevms. One version is UNIX syntax compatible and the other > uses a different syntax. I usually use the one in makevms (UNIX-style) > but occasionally the other one will do something that the other won't. I haven't had a chance to install it myself, but you might want to take a look at it.

One of the bigest defeciencies is the inabliity to create a makefile which contains just rules. (i.e. You want to make .FRB files from .SRC files by running a locally written FROBNOSTICATE program. You do NOT want to list each potential .FRB file in the Makefile.) Another problem is the inability to say `make *.OBJ' to ensure the currency of all object files in a given directory. (Yes, I know that you could make a dummy dependancy which would reference them all; but it would have to be updated every time you add or remove a module from that directory.) There are also some inconvieniences in dependancy handling, the spawned sub-processes are given only half of the original resource limits; and the whole thing is as slow as growth. DEC should be ashamed to charge for this turkey. What I want is a reasonably efficient make facility which provides all of the capabilities, and ease of use, of the BSD make which we received (FREE) with our Sun workstations. -- Internet: casetek!patl@sun.com PM Lashley uucp: ...sun!casetek!patl CASE Technology, Inc. arpa: casetek@crvax.sri.com Mountain View, CA 94087 >> Anyone can have the facts; having an opinion is an art. <<

As of 2/20/86 $495 would buy a VMS Make facility and $90 would buy an MS-DOS
version from:
The Boston Software Works, Inc.
120 Fulton Street, 2nd Floor
Boston, MA 02109
(617)367-6846
We did not end up purchasing either of these products so I can not critique
them.
