RE: [cdt-patch] Managed make, supplemental makefiles
|
Title: Message
We can
also change the names of the supplemental makefiles to whatever you want.
However recognizing different extensions is a feature all on its
own.
By the
way, did my ToolReference refactor patch integrate into your stuff
OK? Just checking if I'll be seeing it in one of your upcoming commits.
:)

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.
