Using the make(1) utility

The make(1) utility may also be used to ensure that QOF files are up to date. For example, the following lines can be added to a make file to tell make(1) how to build a QOF file from a .pl file.

                                   
Makefile
     
     
     #       Quintus Prolog Compiler (qpc) section
     .SUFFIXES: .qof .pl
     
     QPC=qpc
     QPCFLAGS=
     
     .pl:
     	${QPC} $(QPCFLAGS) -o $ $<
     .pl.qof:
     	${QPC} $(QPCFLAGS) -cN $<
