gmake targets for building and administering configurations

A target for gmake can be naively thought of as an argument that tells it which of several things listed in the Makefile it is to do. The command gmake help lists all gmake targets:

gmake <config>

builds a configuration. If the configuration doesn't exist it will create it.

gmake <config>-clean

removes all object and dependency files from a configuration.

gmake <config>-cleandeps

removes all dependency files from a configuration.

gmake <config>-cleanobjs

removes all object files from a configuration.

gmake <config>-config

creates a new configuration or reconfigures an old one.

gmake <config>-cvsupdate

updates the Flesh and thorns for a configuration using CVS

gmake <config>-delete

deletes a configuration (rm -r configs/<config>).

gmake <config>-editthorns

edits the ThornList.

gmake <config>-examples

copies all the example parameter files relevant for this configuration to the directory examples in the Cactus home directory. If a file of the same name is already there, it will not overwrite it.

gmake <config>-realclean

removes from a configuration all object and dependency files, as well as files generated from the CST (stands for Cactus Specification Tool, which is the set of Perl scripts which parse the thorn configuration files). Only the files generated by configure and the ThornList file remain.

gmake <config>-rebuild

rebuilds a configuration (reruns the CST).

gmake <config>-testsuite

runs the test programs associated with each thorn in the configuration. See section A2.4 for information about the test suite mechanism.

gmake <config>-thornlist

regenerates the ThornList for a configuration.

gmake <config>-utils [UTILS3#3<list>]

builds all utility programs provided by the thorns of a configuration. Individual utilities can be selected by giving their names in the UTILS variable.

gmake <config>-ThornGuide

builds documentation for the thorns in this configuration.

gmake <thorn>-ThornDoc

builds the documentation for the thorn.

gmake ThornDoc

builds the documentation for all thorns.

gmake ArrangementDoc

builds the documentation for all arrangements.

gmake <config>-configinfo

displays the options used to build the configuration.

gmake <config>-cvsupdate

updates the Flesh and this configuration's thorns from the CVS repositories.
