Have a look at colormake, found here $ apt-cache search colormake colormake – simple wrapper around make to colorize output Using the power of google, I also found this bash-function. make() { pathpat=”(/[^/]*)+:[0-9]+” ccred=$(echo -e “\033[0;31m”) ccyellow=$(echo -e “\033[0;33m”) ccend=$(echo -e “\033[0m”) /usr/bin/make “$@” 2>&1 | sed -E -e “/[Ee]rror[: ]/ s%$pathpat%$ccred&$ccend%g” -e “/[Ww]arning[: ]/ … Read more
Your a b c: rule tells Make that this is how to build any of these targets, not how to build all of them. Make is not smart enough to analyze the commands and deduce that running the rule once will build all three. Make knows (from the output rule) that it must rebuild a, … Read more
You have two problems in this rule (well, three): $(OBJECTS): $(SOURCES) $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c $(SOURCES) $(LIB_PATH) $(LIBS) You haven’t noticed yet, but the rule makes each object dependent on all sources, and tries to build that way. Not a problem as long as you have only one source. Easy to fix with a static pattern … Read more
You need to set the compiler flag -mmacosx-version-min to the version number of the SDK you want to build against. I don’t use automake, but in cmake you’d set the variable CMAKE_OSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET, and in qmake you’d set the variable QMAKE_MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET.
SRCS = $(wildcard *.c) PROGS = $(patsubst %.c,%,$(SRCS)) all: $(PROGS) %: %.c $(CC) $(CFLAGS) -o $@ $<
Assuming your prerequisites are regular tokens, echo $(word 2,$^) I often find myself giving the first argument a special position, and accessing the remaining prerequisites with echo $(filter-out $<,$^) *Though sometimes with the upper solution you might find repeating elements.
If you define the target .SILENT:, then make will not echo anything. It’s usually best to guard the definition, so you can easily turn it off: ifndef VERBOSE .SILENT: endif Now by default, make will print nothing, but if you run make VERBOSE=1, it will print. Note that despite the statement in the manual claiming … Read more
# Retrieves a host part of the given string (without port). # Param: # 1. String to parse in form ‘host[:port]’. host = $(firstword $(subst :, ,$1)) # Returns a port (if any). # If there is no port part in the string, returns the second argument # (if specified). # Param: # 1. String … Read more
How about using $? to echo the exit status of the last command? SVN_INFO := $(shell svn info . 2> /dev/null; echo $$?) ifeq ($(SVN_INFO),1) $(error “Not an SVN repo…”) endif
It’s an old-fashioned suffix rule. The more up-to-date way to do it is to use a pattern rule: %.o : %.c
