GNUmakesettings.inc

Go to the documentation of this file.

# This is the file that all 'common' GNUmakefiles, and only them,
# should include.

# Prerequisite: COMMON_TOP must be set.


# Each project should define its own GNUmakesettings.inc, as explained below,
# and should not reuse any other GNUmakesettings.inc coming from prerequisites.


# Note regarding dependencies and settings:
 
# let c be 'common', b be a library using 'common' (ex: 'wooper') and a 
# an application using the b library: a depends on b that depends on c.
  
# For any makefile of a, the correct include order would be:
#   - all GNUmakevars before all GNUmakerules
#   - among GNUmakevars, first a, then b, then c, as b will define variables
# if a did not defined them, and so on
#   - among GNUmakerules, first a, then b, then c, for the same reason: 
# rules will be matched according to their declaration order
#
# Therefore we need to have:
# a.GNUmakevars
# b.GNUmakevars
# c.GNUmakevars
# a.GNUmakerules
# b.GNUmakerules
# c.GNUmakerules

# Hence, for no project, the GNUmakevars and GNUmakerules should be
# aggregated.

# As it is a lot more convenient that all GNUmakefiles include only one
# global GNUmake*inc file, each project should define an appropriate one,
# which ought be named 'GNUmakesettings.inc' (this file).
