make a debuggable executable

## NAME

makeg - make a debuggable executable

## SYNOPSIS

**makeg** \[ *make-options ...* \] \[ *targets ...* \]

## DESCRIPTION

The **makeg** script runs **make,** passing it variable settings to create a debuggable target when used with a Makefile generated by **imake.** For example, it arranges for the C compiler to be called with the **-g** option.

## ENVIRONMENT

- **MAKE**

  The **make** program to use. Default \`\`make''.

- **GDB**

  Set to a non-null value if using the **gdb** debugger on Solaris 2, which requires additional debugging options to be passed to the compiler.
