+.SH NAME
+cheatmake \- fool make into not rebuilding certain files
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B cheatmake hidechange
+.I file
+.br
+.B cheatmake show
+.br
+.B cheatmake why
+.I file
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcheatmake\fP is used to save time when recompiling. It can fool \fBmake\fP
+into skipping files that haven't changed in a meaningful way. This can be
+used for instance when you change a comment in a file but none of the actual
+code.
+.PP
+This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The different modes of operation are as follows.
+.TP
+\fBhidechange\fP \fIfile\fP
+Hides the fact that the given file has changed by moving its timestamp
+back into the past. Use this option with care!
+.TP
+\fBshow\fP
+Lists which files make currently needs to rebuild.
+.TP
+\fBwhy\fP \fIfile\fP
+Explains why make must rebuild the given file.
+.SH ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
+One of the following variables (but not both) should be set if the
+source
+directory is different from the build directory.
+If the build directory is simply a subdirectory of the source directory,
+the simpler variable OBJ_SUBDIR should be used.
+.TP
+OBJ_SUBDIR
+Indicates that the build directory is in the given subdirectory of the
+source directory. For instance, if the source directory is \fItdesdk\fP
+and the build directory is \fItdesdk/obj-i386-linux\fP, then OBJ_SUBDIR
+should be set to \fIobj-i386-linux\fP.
+.TP
+OBJ_REPLACEMENT
+A \fBsed\fP expression that is used to transform the source directory
+into the build directory.
+For instance, if the source directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk\fP and the
+build directory is \fI~/src/tdesdk-obj\fP, then OBJ_REPLACEMENT could
+be set to \fIs#tdesdk#tdesdk-obj#\fP.
+.SH SEE ALSO
