Makefile commands for either directory

The following Makefile commands may be issued from either the doc or src directory:

• make co[.src | .h | .doc | .bin | .data | .extra]
  Checks out sets of files from the RCS (but does not lock them). The particular files checked out depend on which optional components were specified when the configure script was run and the Makefile created. The first form, make co, checks out copies of all files, and then does a make depend command (see below). The other options check out the following subsets of files:

  co.src All .C and .c files, which are placed in the src directory.

  co.h All header (.h) files, which are placed in the src directory.

  co.doc All documentation files, which are placed in the doc directory. If just a single documentation guide is to be created, the files required just for the installation, programmers, or users guides may be checked out with the command co.doc.ig, co.doc.pg, or co.doc.ug, respectively.

  co.bin All utility programs and scripts, which are placed in the bin directory.

  co.data All data files, which are placed in the data directory.

  co.extra All other special files necessary to compile VMD, which are placed in the src directory.

• make clean
  Removes all object files, backup files, and other unnecessary files still remaining after compilation has finished.
• make depend
  The source code file dependencies are generated, when possible, using special compiler flags (on SGI workstations, for example, this is done with the -M flag to the CC compiler). The resulting dependencies are placed in the file Makedata.depend in the src directory, and are included by the Makefile. Dependencies are determined based on the current optional component configuration; if the configuration changes, or new files are introduced, or the list of included files for a source code file changes, the dependencies should be recomputed. This is done automatically when a make co command is issued. Every time the dependencies are updated, a make version command is executed as well.
• make install | make install.exe
  Installs the VMD executables and data files into the VMD library directory, and copies the startup scripts and utility programs used by VMD into a user-specified directory. These directories are specified by the configurable parameters INSTALLLIBDIR and INSTALLBINDIR in the file configure.parameters.
• make install.doc
  Copies the documentation guides into a directory doc within the VMD\ library directory, where program executables and data files were previously installed. This is not necessary for VMD to run, but may be useful to users.
• make install.all
  Same as typing make install.exe install.doc.
• make locks
  Prints out a list of all RCS-locked files; the username of the person who locked each file is indicated by the ownership of the file.
• make version
  Creates two files, which contain data used by the compiler and by Latex to determine the values of configurable parameters. These files are:
  1. src/config.h A C header file which contains the program name, and current date, as a single string, and the values for several configurable parameters as set in the file configure.parameters.
  2. doc/vmd_version.tex A Latex file which contains the program name, version, and current date as Latex macros.
