13.4 Comments
A ‘#’ character signifies a comment. When this character appears as the first character on a line the rest of the line (up
until the next new line character) is ignored. There follows examples of valid comments:
# My hmake file
# Variable declaration
OUTPUT= c:\dir1\file1.obj
# Descriptor
$(OUTPUT) : c:\dir1\file1.c c:\dir1\file1.h
→ set VAR1=value1
→ gcc c:\dir1\file1.c
A comment must occupy its own line in the hmake file. It is not possible to put comments on the end of other
statements.
13.5 Message commands
The message command is used to output a line of text to standard out whilst a make file is executing. These text lines
will be output in the order they appear in the make file, in amongst output from any executables being executed as
appropriate. No buffering of output text will take place. A message command has the following syntax:
!MESSAGE <text to output>
A new line character is assumed to come after the last character in <text to output>. Any white space between
!MESSAGE and <text to output> will be ignored. There follows an example of a valid message command:
!MESSAGE Executing C Compiler
