Including other files in a description file

Include files other than the current description file by using the word include as the first word on any line in the description file.

Follow the word with a blank or a tab, and then the file name for themake command to include in the operation.

Note: Only one file is supported for each include statement.

For example:

include /home/tom/temp
include /home/tom/sample

directs the make command to read the temp and sample files and the current description file to build the target file.

When you are using include files, do not use more than 16 levels of nesting.
