- make/README
-
- This file describes the layout and conventions of the make tree used in
- the RTEMS software project and others.
- All of these "make" trees are substantially similar; however this
- file documents the current state of the rtems Makefile tree.
-
- This make tree was developed originally to simplify porting projects
- between various os's. The primary goals are:
-
- . simple *and* customizable individual makefiles
-
- . use widely available GNU make. There is no pre-processing or
- automatic generation of Makefiles.
-
- . Same makefiles work on *many* host os's due to portability
- of GNU make and the host os config files.
-
- . Support for different compilers and operating systems
- on a per-user basis. Using the same sources (including
- Makefiles) one developer can develop and test under SVR4,
- another under 4.x, another under HPUX.
-
- . Builtin support for compiling "variants" such as debug,
- profile, and tcov versions. These variants can be built
- recursively.
-
- . Control of system dependencies. "hidden" dependencies on
- environment variables (such as PATH)
- have been removed whenever possible. No matter what your
- PATH variable is set to, you should get the same thing
- when you 'make' as everyone else on the project.
-
- This description attempts to cover all aspects of the Makefile tree. Most
- of what is described here is maintained automatically by the configuration
- files.
-
- The example makefiles in make/Templates should be used as a starting
- point for new directories.
-
- There are 2 main types of Makefile:
-
- directory and leaf.
-
- Directory Makefiles
- -------------------
-
- A Makefile in a source directory with sub-directories is called a
- "directory" Makefile.
-
- Directory Makefile's are simply responsible for acting as "middle-men"
- and recursing into their sub-directories and propagating the make.
-
- For example, directory src/bin will contain only a Makefile and
- sub-directories. No actual source code will reside in the directory.
- The following commands:
-
- $ cd src/bin
- $ make all
-
- would descend into all the subdirectories of 'src/bin' and recursively
- perform a 'make all'.
-
- A 'make debug' will recurse thru sub-directories as a debug build.
-
- A template directory Makefile which should work in almost all
- cases is in make/Templates/Makefile.dir
-
-
- Leaf Makefiles
- --------------
-
- Source directories that contain source code for libraries or
- programs use a "leaf" Makefile.
-
- These makefiles contain the rules necessary to build programs
- (or libraries).
-
- A template leaf Makefile is in Templates/Makefile.leaf . A template
- leaf Makefile for building libraries is in Templates/Makefile.lib .
-
-
- NOTE: To simplify nested makefile's and source maintenance, we disallow
- combining source and directories (that make(1) would be expected to
- recurse into) in one source directory. Ie., a directory in the source
- tree may contain EITHER source files OR recursive sub directories, but NOT
- both.
-
- Variants (where objects go)
- ---------------------------
-
- All binary targets are placed in a sub-directory whose name is (for
- example):
-
- o-force386/ -- binaries (no debug, no profile)
- o-force386-debug/ -- debug binaries
- o-force386-profile/ -- profiling binaries
-
- Using the template Makefiles, this will all happen automatically.
-
- Within a Makefile, the ${ARCH} variable is set to o-force386,
- o-force386-debug, etc., as appropriate.
-
- Typing 'make' will place objects in o-force386.
- 'make debug' will place objects in o-force386-debug.
- 'make profile' will place objects in o-force386-profile.
-
- NOTE: For RTEMS work, the word 'force386' is the specified
- RTEMS_BSP (specified in the modules file)
-
- The debug and profile targets are equivalent to 'all' except that
- CFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS are modified as per the compiler config file for
- debug and profile support.
-
- Targets debug_install and profile_install are equivalent to 'make
- install' except that debug (or profile) variants are built and
- installed.
-
- The targets debug, profile, debug_install, profile_install, etc., can be
- invoked recursively at the directory make level. So from the top of a
- tree, one could install a debug version of everything under that point
- by:
-
- $ cd src/lib
- $ gmake debug_install
-
- When building a command that is linked with a generated library, the
- appropriate version of the library will be linked in.
-
- For example, the following fragments link the normal, debug, or
- profile version of "libmine.a" as appropriate:
-
- LDLIBS += $(LIBMINE)
- LIBMINE = ../libmine/${ARCH}/libmine.a
-
- ${ARCH}/pgm: $(LIBMINE) ${OBJS}
- $(LINK.c) -o $@ ${OBJS} $(LDLIBS)
-
- If we do 'gmake debug', then the library in
- ../libmine/sparc-debug/libmine.a will be linked in. If $(LIBMINE)
- might not exist (or might be out of date) at this point, we could add
-
- ${LIBMINE}: FORCEIT
- cd ../libmine; ${MAKE} ${VARIANT_VA}
-
- The above would generate the following command to build libmine.a:
-
- cd ../libmine; gmake debug
-
- The macro reference ${VARIANT_VA} converts ${ARCH} to the word 'debug'
- (in this example) and thus ensures the proper version of the library
- is built.
-
-
- Targets
- -------
-
- All Makefile's support the following targets:
-
- all -- make "everything"
- install -- install "everything"
-
- The following targets are provided automatically by
- the included config files:
-
- clean -- delete all targets
- clobber -- 'clean' plus delete sccs'd files
- lint -- run lint or lint-like tool
- get -- "sccs get" all sources
- depend -- build a make dependency file
- "variant targets" -- special variants, see below
-
-
- All directory Makefiles automatically propagate all these targets. If
- you don't wish to support 'all' or 'install' in your source directory,
- you must leave the rules section empty, as the parent directory Makefile
- will attempt it on recursive make's.
-
-
- Configuration
- -------------
-
- All the real work described here happens in file(s) included
- from your Makefile.
-
- All Makefiles include a customization file which is used to select
- compiler and host operating system. The environment variable
- RTEMS_CUSTOM must point to this file; eg:
-
- /.../make/custom/force386.cfg
-
- All leaf Makefile's also include either 'make/leaf.cfg' (or
- 'make/lib.cfg' for building libraries). These config files provide
- default rules and set up the command macros as appropriate.
-
- All directory Makefiles include 'make/directory.cfg'. directory.cfg
- provides all the rules for recursing through sub directories.
-
- The Makefile templates already perform these include's.
-
- 'make/leaf.cfg' (or directory.cfg) in turn includes:
-
- a file specifying general purpose rules appropriate for
- both leaf and directory makefiles.
- ( make/main.cfg )
-
- personality modules specified by the customization file for:
- compiler ( make/compilers/??.cfg )
-
-
- private customization files
- ---------------------------
-
- [ $(RTEMS_CUSTOM) ]
-
- Your own private configuration file. Specifies which of the above
- files you want to include.
-
- Example: custom/force386.cfg
-
- CONFIG.$(HOST_ARCH).OS = $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/os/HPUX-9.0.cfg
-
- # HOST Compiler config file
- # You may also want to specify where the compiler resides here.
- CC_$(HOST_ARCH)_DIR=/usr/local
- CONFIG.$(HOST_ARCH).CC = $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/compilers/gcc.cfg
-
- ## Target compiler config file, if any
- CC_$(TARGET_ARCH)_DIR=$(RTEMS_GNUTOOLS)
- CONFIG.$(TARGET_ARCH).CC = $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/compilers/gcc-force386.cfg
-
- generic rules file
- ------------------
-
- [ make/main.cfg ]
- included by leaf.cfg or directory.cfg.
-
- This file contains some standard rules and variable assignments
- that all Makefiles need.
-
- It also includes the FORCEIT: pseudo target.
-
-
- OS config file for host machine
- -------------------------------
-
- [ make/os/OS-NAME.cfg ]
- included by main.cfg
-
- Figures out the target architecture and specifies command names
- for the OS tools including RCS/CVS (but NOT for the compiler tools).
-
-
- Compiler configuration for the target
- -------------------------------------
-
- [ compilers/COMPILER-NAME.cfg ]
- included by leaf.cfg
-
- Specifies the names of tools for compiling programs.
- Names in here should be fully qualified, and NOT depend on $PATH.
-
- Also specifies compiler flags to be used to generate optimized,
- debugging and profile versions, as well as rules to compile
- assembly language and make makefile dependencies.
-
-
- Configuration Variables
- -----------------------
-
- Variables you have to set in the environment or in your Makefile.
- Note: the rtems module files set RTEMS_ROOT and RTEMS_CUSTOM
- for you.
-
- Environment Variables
- ---------------------
-
- RTEMS_BSP -- name of your 'bsp' eg: force386
-
- RTEMS_ROOT -- The root of your source tree.
- All other file names are derived from this.
- [ eg: % setenv RTEMS_ROOT $HOME/work/rtems ]
-
- RTEMS_CUSTOM -- name of your config files in make/custom
- Example:
- $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/custom/$(RTEMS_BSP).cfg
-
- RTEMS_GNUTOOLS -- root of the gcc tools for the target
-
- The value RTEMS_ROOT is used in the custom
- files to generate the make(1) variables:
-
- PROJECT_ROOT
- PROJECT_RELEASE
- PROJECT_TOOLS
-
- etc., which are used within the make config files themselves.
- (The files in make/*.cfg try to avoid use of word RTEMS so
- they can be more easily shared by other projects)
-
- Preset variables
- ----------------
-
- Aside from command names set by the os and compiler config files,
- a number of MAKE variables are automatically set and maintained by
- the config files.
-
- CONFIG.$(HOST_ARCH).CC
- -- full path of C compilation config file, set by custom
- config file.
-
- PROJECT_RELEASE
- -- release/install directory
- [ $(PROJECT_ROOT) ]
-
- PROJECT_BIN
- -- directory for installed binaries
- [ $(PROJECT_ROOT)/bin ]
-
- PROJECT_TOOLS
- -- directory for build environment commands
- [ eg: $(PROJECT_ROOT)/build-tools ]
-
- TARCH -- ${TARGET_ARCH}
- [ eg: o-forc386 ]
- obsolete and should not be referenced
-
- ARCH -- target sub-directory for object code
- [ eg: o-force386 or o-force386-debug ]
-
- HOST_ARCH
- -- host machine architecture name
- [ eg: sun4, sparc on SVR4 ]
-
- VARIANTS -- full list of all possible values for $(ARCH);
- used mainly for 'make clean'
- [ eg: "o-force386 o-force386-debug o-force386-profile" ]
-
- VARIANT_VA -- Variant name.
- Normally "", but for 'make debug' it is "debug",
- for 'make profile', "profile, etc.
-
- see make/leaf.cfg for more info.
-
-
- Preset compilation variables
- ----------------------------
-
- This is a list of some of the compilation variables.
- Refer to the compiler config files for the complete list.
-
- CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE_V -- value of optimize flag for compiler
- [ eg: -O ]
-
- CFLAGS_DEBUG_V -- value of debug flag for compiler
- [ eg: -g ]
-
- CFLAGS_PROFILE_V -- compiler profile flags
- [ eg: -pg ]
-
- CFLAGS_DEBUG_OPTIMIZE_V
- -- optimize flag if compiling for debug
- [ eg: "" ]
-
- CFLAGS_DEBUG
- CFLAGS_PROFILE
- CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE -- current values for each depending
- on make variant.
-
- LDFLAGS_STATIC_LIBRARIES_V
- -- ld option for static libraries
- -Bstatic or -dy (svr4)
-
- LDFLAGS_SHARED_LIBRARIES_V
- -- ld option for dynamic libraries
- -Bdynamic or -dn (svr4)
-
- LIB_SOCKET
- -- ld(1) -l option(s) to provide
- socket support.
-
- LIB_MATH -- ld(1) -l option(s) to provide
- math library.
-
-
- Makefile Variables
- ------------------
-
- The following variables may be set in a typical Makefile.
-
- C_PIECES -- File names of your .c files without '.c' suffix.
- [ eg: C_PIECES=main funcs stuff ]
-
- CC_PIECES -- ditto, except for .cc files
-
- S_PIECES -- ditto, except for .S files.
-
- LIB -- target library name in leaf library makefiles.
- [ eg: LIB=${ARCH}/libmine.a ]
-
- H_FILES -- your .h files in this directory.
- [ eg: H_FILES=stuff.h extra.h ]
-
- DEFINES -- cc -D items. Included in CPPFLAGS.
- leaf Makefiles.
- [ eg: DEFINES += -DUNIX ]
-
- CPPFLAGS -- -I include directories.
- leaf Makefiles.
- [ eg: CPPFLAGS += -I../include ]
-
- YFLAGS -- Yacc flags.
- leaf Makefiles.
- [ eg: YFLAGS += -v ]
-
- LD_PATHS -- arguments to -L for ld.
- Will be prefixed with '-L' or '-L ' as appropriate
- and included in LDFLAGS.
-
- LDFLAGS -- -L arguments to ld; more may be ADDed.
-
- LD_LIBS -- libraries to be linked in.
- [ eg: LDLIBS += ../libfoo/${ARCH}/libfoo.a ]
-
- XCFLAGS -- "extra" CFLAGS for special needs. Pre-pended
- to CFLAGS.
- Not set or used by Makefiles.
- Can be set on command line to pass extra flags
- to the compiler.
-
- XCPPFLAGS -- ditto for CPPFLAGS
- Can be set on command line to pass extra flags
- to the preprocessor.
-
- XCCPPFLAGS -- same as XCPPFLAGS for C++.
-
- XCCFLAGS -- same as XCFLAGS for C++.
-
- SUB_DIRS -- list of sub directories for make recursion.
- directory Makefiles only.
- [ eg: SUB_DIRS=cpu bsp ]
-
- CLEAN_ADDITIONS
- -- list of files or directories that should
- be deleted by 'make clean'
- [ eg: CLEAN_ADDITIONS += y.tab.c ]
-
- See 'leaf.cfg' for the 'clean:' rule and its
- default deletions.
-
- CLOBBER_ADDITIONS
- -- list of files or directories that should
- be deleted by 'make clobber'
- Since 'make clobber' includes 'make clean',
- you don't need to duplicate items in both.
-
- TARGET_ARCH -- target architecture (eg: o-force386)
- leaf makefiles only.
- Should be specified before 'include leaf.cfg'.
- Only needs to be specified if your target is
- different from output of `arch`.
-
- Command names
- -------------
-
- The following commands should only be called
- as make variables:
-
- MAKE,INSTALL,SHELL
-
- ECHO,CAT,RM,CP,MV,LN,MKDIR,CHMOD
-
- ED,SED
-
- CC,CPP,AS,AR,LD,NM,SIZE,RANLIB,MKLIB,
- YACC,LEX,LINT,CTAGS,ETAGS
-
- Special Directory Makefile Targets
- ----------------------------------
-
- all_WRAPUP
- clean_WRAPUP
- install_WRAPUP
- clean_WRAPUP
- clobber_WRAPUP
- depend_WRAPUP
- -- Specify additional commands for recursive
- (directory level) targets.
-
- This is handy in certain cases where you need
- to do bit of work *after* a recursive make.
-
- make/Templates
- --------------
-
- This directory contains Makefile and source file templates that
- should help in creating or converting makefiles.
-
- Makefile.leaf
- Template leaf Makefiles.
-
- Makefile.lib
- Template leaf library Makefiles.
-
- Makefile.dir
- Template "directory" makefile.
-
