MMK, BUILD_TOOLS, MadGoat Make Utility (Compatible with HP MMS)


MadGoat Make Utility (MMK)

MMK is a "make" utility for VMS systems.  It is used for building software
systems based on a "description file" (or "makefile") you create that lists
the sources and objects of a system and the dependencies between them.

MMK is similar in functionality to Digital's DEC/Module Management System (MMS),
and understands a syntax in its description files which is mostly compatible
with MMS.

MMK runs on VAX/VMS, OpenVMS VAX, OpenVMS AXP, and OpenVMS IA64 systems.  It
requires VAX/VMS V5.2 or later, or OpenVMS AXP V1.5 or later.

MMK is written entirely in C (with a little Macro).  Complete source code is
provided.
