I have the following makefile for my program. It creates program.o file, but when I try running it ./program.o I get the following error: ./statsh.o: Permission denied. Any ideas why this might be happening? HEADERS = statsh.h functions.h default: statsh statsh.o: statsh.c $(HEADERS) gcc -c statsh.c -o statsh.o statsh: stat...

(disclaimer: I am used to scons ... I am somewhat unexperienced with make) Context: I am using Eclipse CDT which generates makefiles. Let's say I have a project directory 'lib' and 2 build configurations 'Debug' and 'Release'. Eclipse CDT gracefully generates a makefile for each build configuration. The said makefiles end-up residing ...
What approach do C++ programmers on Unix platform use to create and manage Makefiles? I was using hand made Makefiles for my projects but they don't handle header file changes and other dependencies. I googled around and found a good solution here. But I ran into a problem here in the sed command - sed -e 's/#.*//' -e 's/^[^:]*: ...
Hi there! I'm trying to update the crontab from a GNU Make file. The idea is like this: I look through the existing cron table and filter out all entries marked as mine (via the comment) and save that to a temporary file. Then I add my jobs to that temporary file and make it a new cron table. That way the make file can be run several ti...
Is there a way to exclude some files from the compilation process? Or even whole directories? I believe the makefile is using find to find all the source files inside the src directory. Is there a way to specify the directories to ignore from find? Like some switch, or something? ...
is there a way to speed up the configure script when compiling using the gnu toolchain on cygwin? reconfiguring with only minor changes takes equally long, is there a way to cache the configuration ? ...
Hello there! In my makefile I have a variable with a list of directories, like this: DIRS = /usr /usr/share/ /lib Now, I need to create PATH variable from it, which is basically the same, but uses semicolon as a separator: PATH = /usr:/usr/share/:/lib How do I do that? I mean, how do I join elements of DIRS list with semicolons, i...
Is there a version of GNU Make, or GNU Make compatible application, which supports distributed builds on Win32? We currently have a large project using gnu makefiles. We use the Win32 version of GMake to build. Our build environment supports parallel builds without a problem, and we'd like to try and perform a distributed build if pos...
So, to compile my executable, I need to have the library locations set up correctly. The problem is, the setup comes from a bunch of scripts that do the env variable exporting, and what needs to be set up may change (beyond my control) so I need to use those scripts instead of copying their functionality. To compile in regular command li...
How can I tell m4's patsubstr to replace all newlines in a string with a space? I've tried: patsubst(MULTI_LINE_STR_DEFINE,`\n',` ') and patsubst(MULTI_LINE_STR_DEFINE,`\\n',` ') ...
I know I am doing it wrong, but I can't figure out how to organize this makefile. I define my util source files, and use some functions to define the .o files from them here: UTIL_SRC = utils/src/foo.cpp utils/src/bar.cpp utils/src/baz.cpp UTIL_OBJS = $(patsubst utils/src/%.cpp,utils/obj/%.o,$(UTIL_SRC)) This is the target that I use...
I am doing some C programming for school and I have found myself reusing libraries that I have created, over and over again (stacks, user input, error handling, etc). Right now, my personal SVN directory structure looks like this: trunk/ |-- 2520 | `-- assignments | |-- A2 | |-- Makefile | |-- README | ...
Is it possible to get the "full" makefile if makefile contains "include"? For example: #here is the contents of Makefile include inc1.i include inc2.i clean: rm -rf * #here is the contents of inc1.i abc: touch abc #here is the contents of inc2.i def: touch def How can I get a "full" Makefil...
Suppose I have a encrypted Makefile on hand, I want to write a Perl program to decrypt it and run make -f with it. Is this possible without writting the decrypted Makefile back to harddisk? ...
I'm trying to write a Makefile which should download some sources if and only if they are missing. Something like: hello: hello.c gcc -o hello hello.c hello.c: wget -O hello.c http://example.org/hello.c But of course this causes hello.c to be downloaded every time make command is run. I would like hello.c to be downloaded by...
I have 3 files in my program: App_interface.h, App_interface.cpp, main.cpp. Im trying to compile my program which requires the Qt library. I just installed the Qt library in the default location. This is my makefile: if your wondering why i don't use moc in this makefile is because 1) i dont know how to do that. 2) i just want to stop g...
Is there a way to detect whether a variable has been set from the environment vs. on the command line? I would like to distinguish between someone invoking make with make LIB=mylib vs. make and $LIB being defined. ...
Our make file compiles .c source files with a static pattern rule like this: OBJECTS = foo.o bar.o baz.o $(OBJECTS): %.o: %.c $(CC) $< $(C_OPTIONS) -c -o $@ I need to change one of the .c files to an Objective-C .m file. Invoking the compiler is the same for both source types, so I'd like to use the same rule and just tweak it to...
