This script can however +be used in more standard scenarios (such as non-KDE projects for which the +source and build directories are the same), where it will behave just like +make. +.PP +One of the environment variables OBJ_SUBDIR or OBJ_REPLACEMENT +should be set to indicate where the build directory is in relation to +the source directory. +.PP +This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit. +.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES +Note that only one of OBJ_SUBDIR and OBJ_REPLACEMENT should be used. +If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory, +the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used. +.TP +OBJ_SUBDIR +Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the +source directory. For instance, if the source directory is \fIkdesdk\fP +and the build directory is \fIkdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR +should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP. +.TP +OBJ_REPLACEMENT +A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory +into the build directory. +For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/kdesdk\fP and the +build directory is \fI~/src/kdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could +be set to \fIs#src/kdesdk#src/kdesdk-obj#\fP. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR make (1), +.BR sed (1). +.SH AUTHOR +makeobj was written by Stephan Kulow <coolo@kde.org>. +.br +This manual page was prepared by Ben Burton <bab@debian.org> +for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). |
