summary:

X Makefile dependency tool

description:

The makedepend program reads each sourcefile in sequence and parses it like a C-preprocessor so that it can correctly tell which #include directives would be used in a compilation. Every file that a sourcefile includes, directly or indirectly, is what makedepend calls a dependency. These dependencies are then written to a makefile in such a way that make(1) will know which object files must be recompiled when a dependency has changed.
