rpcgen usually has the command-line options for generating single individual
files -- rpcgen -[cmlh] <xdrfile.x>, but it generates them to stdout. I
usually use:
%_rpc.h: %_rpc.x
$(RPCGEN) -h $< > $@
%_rpc_xdr.c: %_rpc.x
$(RPCGEN) -c $< > $@
%_rpc_svc.c: %_rpc.x
$(RPCGEN) -m $< > $@
%_rpc_clnt.c: %_rpc.x
$(RPCGEN) -l $< | awk -f $(LIB)/rpcclnt.awk > $@
By convention, my XDR file or "interface" file is <something>_rpc.x.
(rpcclnt.awk is a filter to typecast the RPC calls, removing the compiler
warnings)
