Hi, 

I am trying to get makedepend to work on a Silicon Graphics Iris
4D/25.  If anyone has it working, could you mail it to me?  If
anyone has any ideas on what I can try to get it to work, I would
appreciate that too.

I've used the sgi.r3.newpatch posted on expo to try to get an r3
version of makedepend working.  I think the problem I am getting
is makedepend does not recognize #if defined NAME.  So makedepend
fails on the following code fragment from
/usr/include/bsd/net/soioctl.h

#if defined SVR3 || !defined KERNEL
# include <sys/ioctl.h>
#else
# include "../h/ioctl.h"
#endif

This type of thing appears all over the header files in
/usr/include and /usr/include/bsd.  

I know cpp does define SVR3 so it should look for <sys/ioctl.h> but
makedepend actually tries to find "../h/ioctl.h".  The diagnostic
messages follow: 
---------------------------------------------------------------
Context.c (reading /usr/include/bsd/net/soioctl.h): cannot find
include file "../h/ioctl.h"
        not in ../h/ioctl.h
        not in /usr/include/bsd/h/ioctl.h
        not in ./../h/ioctl.h
        not in ../.././../h/ioctl.h
        not in ../.././h/ioctl.h
        not in /usr/include/h/ioctl.h
        not in /usr/h/ioctl.h
cannot open "../h/ioctl.h"
---------------------------------------------------------------

I even tried putting -DSVR3 between the pair of double hyphens, but
to no avail.  So my best guess is that #if defined NAME is not
recognized by makedepend.

I can't get r4 makedepend to compile on my Iris, but it doesn't
seem to recognize #if defined NAME either, so I haven't pursued it
further.

I hope I've given enough information about my problem.  I will
attempt to modify makedepend, but if anyone has any suggestions,
or anyone has done it before, please mail to me directly.

Thanks,

Craig Warsaw
