|

| 28 | * kmk is the make file interpreter and executer in kBuild. It is based on
|
|---|
| 29 | * FreeBSD make but some changes have been made.

|
|---|
| 33 | * @subsection Differences From BSD Make
|
|---|
| 34 | *
|
|---|
| 35 | * The main difference is that kmk doesn't make use of an external shell to execute
|
|---|
| 36 | * commands. It uses it's internal micro shell. This has a number of advantages
|
|---|
| 37 | * when it comes to portability. It also speeds up the execution a little bit.
|
|---|
| 38 | *
|
|---|
| 39 | * The other important difference is default makefile names and order. The names
|
|---|
| 40 | * and order is as follows:
|
|---|
| 41 | * <ol>
|
|---|
| 42 | * <li>makefile.kmk
|
|---|
| 43 | * <li>Makefile.kmk
|
|---|
| 44 | * <li>makefile
|
|---|
| 45 | * <li>Makefile
|
|---|
| 46 | * </ol>
