Here is a simple m3makefile:
% Makefile for Modula-3 program 'myprog' import(libm3) implementation(main) program(myprog)
The first line is a comment. Text after %
is ignored by the
compiler in m3makefiles.
The import
command tells the compiler that the program uses
routines in the library libm3
. This command is present in most
m3makefiles. If you use routines from other libraries, you must
include other import
commands that tell the compiler which
libraries to include.
There must be one implementation
command for each .m3 file in
your program. In this case, there was only one such file:
main.m3
.
Finally, the program
command tells the compiler what to name the
resulting executable file. The compiler will name this program's
executable myprog
.
