makefile的调试

 

 

 

make有用的选项：

 

-d   Print debugging information in addition to normal processing.  The debugging information says which files are being considered for remaking,  which

            file-times  are  being  compared  and  with what results, which files actually need to be remade, which implicit rules are considered and which are

            applied---everything interesting about how make decides what to do.

 

--debug[=FLAGS]

            Print debugging information in addition to normal processing.  If the FLAGS are omitted, then the behavior is the same  as  if  -d  was  specified.

            FLAGS  may  be  a  for  all  debugging output (same as using -d), b for basic debugging, v for more verbose basic debugging, i for showing implicit

            rules, j for details on invocation of commands, and m for debugging while remaking makefiles.

 

-p, --print-data-base

            Print the data base (rules and variable values) that results from reading the makefiles; then execute as usual or  as  otherwise  specified.   This

            also  prints  the  version  information given by the -v switch (see below).  To print the data base without trying to remake any files, use make -p

            -f/dev/null.

 

-n, --just-print, --dry-run, --recon

            Print the commands that would be executed, but do not execute them.

 

--no-print-directory

            Turn off -w, even if it was turned on implicitly.

 

-q, --question

            ‘‘Question  mode’’.  Do not run any commands, or print anything; just return an exit status that is zero if the specified targets

            are already up to date, nonzero otherwise

 

-s, --silent, --quiet

            Silent operation; do not print the commands as they are executed.  

 

--warn-undefined-variables

            Warn when an undefined variable is referenced.
