Overview

dmake is a replacement for the common UNIX Make utility, and serves to bridge the heterogenous development-environment gap by supporting the creation of portable makefiles and by being highly portable itself.

If you need to build products for Windows-NT and for UNIX then this is the tool you should use to specify and configure your makefiles. A brief introduction can be found here. Otherwise follow the more extensive links below.

Acknowledgments

Many thank you's to all netizens who have submitted code for new features, suggestions for improvements, and bug fixes. We have tried to make sure that no gotchas remain, if you encounter problems installing or running dmake please report them. As always, we are happy to receive e-mail with your suggestions, ideas, and problems.

Because many have contributed suggestions and bug fixes that make this release possible the source for dmake continues to be freely available. However, it is evident that dmake is in heavy use by many companies. To provide the services that are demanded as a result of such use it is necessary to charge for dmake. In an attempt to reconcile the free source version and the need to fund the services that the user community is asking for, precompiled binary distributions of dmake are available for a fee as are support options and, soon, the dmake Reference Manual and Users Guide.

The success of these efforts will depend on your support; therefore, if you use dmake in support of a commercial venture please consider purchasing a dmake binary or service.
