makefile

Table of Contents

1. Suggestions

  • Have .PHONY targets next to the targets instead of one line somewhere else in the file, helps make sure that the .PHONY targets are up-to-date.

2. Random usage

  • Misc
$(info ${VAR_NAME}) # printing in a makefile

  • Existence of env var 

    @test -n "$(VAR_NAME)" || (echo 'error msg' && exit 1) # inline variant

# global variant, no indentation at all
ifndef ENV_VAR_X
        $(error ENV_VAR_X is undefined)
endif
