Hello. I've been using dmake for a bit and I like it.
I was wondering, could there be some option for dmake
that deletes all object files created from the main program?
maybe like 'dmake main.d -clean'
:-)
thx

do you mean: dmake main -build ?

Hum no. -build just rebuilds the whole project. It still leaves around a lot of little object files all over the place.

That would be simple to do.

Is this important for you?

Questions:

A: What to delete:
  (1) delete those object files that have been created during the make?
  (2) delete all object files that have an corresponding sourcefile?

B: Should
  (3) -clean be a separate step [this could only go with (2)]
  (4) -clean be combinable with make (default) and -build

(1)+(4) would leave you with just a single new executable

(2)+(3||4) would delete all object files that can be recompiled

==

For information: Derek Parnell programmed a much extended version of dmake (800 => 1400 LOC) that contains a lot of new options. The only problem is that I've currently not the time to test it. I suggested to publish it as a fork, but he prefers to wait.

I've taken the liberty of modifying your program to do this already. I'm curious to see if you would suggest a better way about doing it. Can I post it here or is there somewhere else you would like me to send it?

Yes..
I used the following options in my update.

A: delete object files created from make
B: seperate step.

I'd use it as a quick way to clean out the directories of object files so i can zip it or add it to svn. :-)

I think the source is too long to post it here.
Send it to me and all who request it.

commandline zip should have options to select or suppress extensions.

svn should be configurable that object files (certain extensions or wildcard patterns) aren't transferred.
