m3build

The Modula-3 compiler, m3build, contains a quake interpreter to process platform dependent templates and package descriptions, m3makefile. It performs a much finer grained dependency analysis than make, thus reducing needless recompilation.

• Packages
• m3build command line options
• Error reporting
• Package descriptions in m3makefiles
• A simple example
• m3build processing steps
• A tour of the compiler internals

When SRC Modula-3 is configured and installed, several public repositories are identified. In these web pages we refer to them with the following short names:

/bin

shared executable programs (e.g. /usr/local/bin).

/lib

shared libraries (e.g. /usr/local/lib/m3/LINUXELF).

/doc

shared documentation (e.g. /usr/local/lib/m3/doc).

/pkg

public packages (e.g. /usr/local/lib/m3/pkg).

/emacs

shared gnuemacs lisp code (e.g. /usr/local/lib/elisp).

/man

installed man pages (e.g. /usr/local/man).

/html

installed HTML sources (e.g. /usr/local/lib/m3/www).
