| [cdt-patch] Managed make, supplemental makefiles |
The patch adds some -include statements to the top-level makefile. The intent is the user can provide these files to cusotmize the makefiles behavior. Makefile.init - included at start of file Makefile.defs - included after macro definitions, but before target definitions Makefile.targets - included after target definitions (i.e. at end of file) We've found this is an easy way to allow customers to customize managed make, without getting into internal details. They can add extra dependencies to files, or even define targets for otherwise unknown types (such as .idl, etc.). They can also specify flags in the "Other flags" field in the UI like so: $(VERBOSE), and then put VERBOSE = -Wall in Makefile.init, for example. Since these files are included using -include, if the user does not provide them, the makefile works as normal. This patch also adds a "auto-generated file do not edit" banner to the top of all generated makefiles. Minimizes confusion, as people sometimes try to edit these files and are confounded by the fact that their changes keep disappearing. Jeremiah Lott TimeSys Corporation
