m3build command line options

The syntax for invoking m3build, within a package directory, is

     m3build [options] [target ...]

If no target is specified, all is assumed. It causes the specified program or library to be built. The only other target that is supported in all m3makefiles is clean which removes any derived files created by m3build all.

The following options are interpreted by m3build.

-b dir
Use the dir configuration and build in the directory named dir. The default build directory is configured into m3build when it is installed.
-d dir
Change the current directory to dir before doing anything. This option is most useful when you're editing in the src subdirectory and compile command you need is m3build -d ...
-F file
Read the quake code in file before the package m3makefile.
-T dir
Read templates from dir instead of the default location. The new directory must include the full set of templates (e.g. COMMON, PLATFORMS, ...).
-S
Generate derived objects regardless of the current directory's name. Normally, if the current working directory is src, m3build will refuse to build derived objects.
-O
Read the m3overrides file if present.
-Dname=value
Bind the value to name before reading the m3makefile.
