Re: [cdt-patch] Managed make, supplemental makefiles
|
Thanks Jeremiah,
As soon as I get my stuff in, I will
take a look at this. I guess we are going to have to update the makefile
editor to pay attention to files with different extensions so users can
easily edit the one we want them too.

| [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.
