Dmake

Dmake is a make utility similar to GNU make or the Workshop dmake. This utility has an irregular syntax but is available for Linux, Solaris, Win32 and other platforms. It is used by the OpenOffice.org build system.

This version of dmake is a modified version of Dennis Vadura's GPL'ed dmake. The original sources were available on http://dmake.wticorp.com. As this site has not been reachable for some time the OpenOffice.org team adopted this utility and is continuing its development in OOo's Version Control System.

Apache OpenOffice is an effort undergoing incubation at The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), sponsored by the Apache Incubator. Incubation is required of all newly accepted projects until a further review indicates that the infrastructure, communications, and decision making process have stabilized in a manner consistent with other successful ASF projects. While incubation status is not necessarily a reflection of the completeness or stability of the code, it does indicate that the project has yet to be fully endorsed by the ASF.
