SuperMakefile

A simple Makefile for non-recursive make.

Setup

cd ~
git clone git@github.com:r10r/SuperMakefile.git .SuperMakefile
echo "alias smake='make -f ~/.SuperMakefile/Makefile'" >> ~/.bash_profile
. ~/.bash_profile

ln -s ~/.SuperMakefile/uncrustify.cfg ~/.uncrustify.cfg

Usage

see examples

Project Configuration

Copy the project.mk to your toplevel project directory.
Add each module folder to the MODULES variable.
Add a module.mk file to each module folder.
Specify the binaries to build in the module.mk file.

Concepts

Recursive Make Considered Harmful
Use immediate evaluation := unless you knowingly want deferred evaluation.
Record results and include them in the Makefile.
Automatic include dependency tracking to rely on interface changes in *.h files.
Complete DAG right
Use includes, as opening files is relatively inexpensive
A whole project make only needs to interpret a single Makefile (build the DAG once)
Do full project builds to spot errors/dependencies early
