22
qmake provides a parallel distributed make utility integrated with Grid
24
<p>It is based on GNU make Revision 3.78.1 which is copyrighted under the
25
GNU General Public License (see file COPYING).
26
<p>qmake uses GNU make's remote stub mechanism (see source code <tt>remote-stub.c</tt>)
27
to start each make task as a task in a Grid Engine parallel job.
28
<p>To create a Grid Engine parallel job, qmake submits itsself using qrsh
29
and requests a parallel environment with a certain number of slots.
30
<br>In the resulting parallel job, qmake starts the single make tasks using
31
the Grid Engine feature "qrsh -inherit" - see <a href="../../clients/qrsh/qrsh.html">documentation
33
<p>For additional information and usage see the manual page <font color="#000000"><a href="../../../doc/htmlman/htmlman1/qmake.html">qmake.1</a></font>
34
and autodoc headers included in the source code <tt>remote-sge.c</tt>.
35
<p>The following changes have been made to the GNU make source tree:
36
<ul>added a file <tt>remote-sge.c</tt> that implements the stub functions
37
from <tt>remote-stub.c</tt>
38
<p>modified <tt>main.c</tt>: a function call to a function <tt>remote_options</tt>
39
has been added at the entrance of the <tt>main</tt> function to allow qmake
40
to separate Grid Engine specific options from GNU make options.</ul>
