Makefile 中小知识点记录

$(VAR:XXX=YYY)

如果变量VAR中出现 XXX 则用 YYY替换。

例如在U-boot的Makefile中遇到的 $(@:_config=) 如果 $@ 的值中出现 _config 则用 空 替换。

normal prerequisites && order-only prerequisites

GUN Makefile Manual Chapter4.3 、参考博客

targets : normal-prerequisites | order-only-prerequisites

简单的讲就是：如果目标的依赖中有 order-only prerequisites ，只有在目标第一次生成时，会去检查并生成这些 order-only prerequisites 。如果目标已经存在，在判断是否需要更新目标时，则忽略 order-only prerequisites ，即：即使这些 order-only prerequisites 有更新，也忽略这些更新，当然，如果 normal prerequisites 有更新，则目标就会更新。

include & -include & sinclude

The include directive tells make to suspend reading the current makefile and read one or more other makefiles before continuing.

The -include directive to include makefiles with no error for a nonexistent file comes from SunOS 4 make. (But note that SunOS 4 make does not allow multiple makefiles to be specified in one -include directive.) The same feature appears with the name sinclude in SGI make and perhaps others.

@ + -

all:
	@command
	-command
	+command

• @ 不显示命令本身
• - 忽略错误
• + 忽略 -n , -t , -q 三个参数的影响。（命令前使用 + 和 使用$(MAKE)、${MAKE} 是相同的作用。） As a special feature, using the variable MAKE in the recipe of a rule alters the effects of the ‘-t’ (‘–touch’), ‘-n’ (‘–just-print’), or ‘-q’ (‘–question’) option. Using the MAKE variable has the same effect as using a ‘+’ character at the beginning of the recipe line. GUN Makefile Manual Chapter5.7.1
