Arguments

filename

Is the name of the file for output. It can include a path.

Default

-no-gen-dep or /gen-dep-

The compiler does not generate build dependencies for the compilation.

Description

This option tells the compiler to generate build dependencies for the current compilation. The build dependencies include a list of all files included with INCLUDE statements or .mod files accessed with USE statements.

If you do not specify filename, the dependencies are written to stdout.

You can use option gen-depformat to specify the form of the output for the build dependencies generated.

If you specify option gen-dep and you do not specify option gen-depformat, the output format is in a form acceptable to the make utility.

Note that if option fpp is used to process #include files, those files will also appear in the list of build dependencies.

Alternate Options

None
