NAME
     cvmake - Invokes the program building and recompilation tool

SYNOPSIS
     cvmake [-f makefile] [target]

IMPLEMENTATION
     IRIX systems

DESCRIPTION
     The cvmake tool is a program building tool designed to help
     programmers compile their programs, find errors, edit the source
     files, and recompile.  Entering the cvmake command displays the Build
     View window.

     The cvmake command accepts the following options:

     -f makefile    Uses the named makefile instead of the default file.
                    The cvmake command passes the file name to the builder
                    program that does the recompilation (typically,
                    make(1)).

     target         Specifies an optional list of targets to be built.

Using the WorkShop Build Tool
     Builds can be started by clicking the Build button on the Build View
     window.  The program used to do the builds is set by selecting
     Preferences on the Admin menu.  Any program can be used as the
     builder, although the default is make(1).

     Verbatim output from the build process is displayed in the transcript
     area of the Build View window.

     Error messages are listed below the transcript area.  The error list
     area displays compile errors.  Errors are annotated according to their
     severity level.  A fatal error is noted with a solid icon and a
     warning icon is noted with a hollow icon.  Clicking on the Next Error
     button or double-clicking on an error brings up the default editor
     (for example, if you invoked cvmake from a Source Viewer window, the
     Source Viewer is used as the editor).  Once the editor is up, you can
     scroll to the line containing the error.  To help you keep track of
     where you are in the error list, check marks are displayed next to
     errors you have viewed.

NOTES
     From within the WorkShop Debugger, cvmake is invoked automatically
     when you select the Recompile option from the File menu of the Source
     View window.

     The Build Manager, by default, uses the UNIX make facility to build
     software.  Although cvmake can use programs other than make, cvbuild
     will parse and display only standard makefiles.  For example, although
     you could use the gnumake command to build files, the Build Manager
     does not understand gnu make constructs.
