OK...I'm new to this and I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, so
please be kind.
I've tried several different approaches to this problem (including
various if, ifeq, and case constructs), and I'm about to give up. Can
any tell me why this doesn't work? In a nutshell, I want a Makefile
that will "include" either a Linux.mk or a SunOS.mk without having to
rely on an explicit command line parameter or env var.
Here is the segment that is giving me trouble:
############### ############### ############### ############### #############
#
#
# Sample Makefile #
#
#
############### ############### ############### ############### #############
#.SILENT:
# Use a known shell
SHELL=/bin/sh
# Obtain OS name (e.g., "Linux" or "SunOS")
THE_OS := `uname`
# Name the INCFILE using the OS name (e.g., "Macros.Linux.m k")
INCFILE := $(HOME)/src/Macros.$(THE_OS ).mk
# Test defined macros to see if I have what I expect
echo:
@echo "THE_OS = :"$(THE_OS)" :"
@echo "INCFILE = :"$(INCFILE) ":"
ls -al $(INCFILE)
# Include the project default macros
include $(INCFILE)
<EOF>
-----------------------And here is the error I get
---------------------------
localhost.local domain]/home/tponko/src% make
Makefile:20: /home/tponko/src/Macros.`uname`. mk: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/tponko/src/Macros.`uname`. mk'.
Stop.
Any/all help will be greatly appreciated.

The Makefile is fine. Simply running the command "make", though, is not. The parser thinks that
THE_OS :=
is a command-rule. Simply run "make echo", and you should get what you're looking for!
Hope I helped!

Elliot,
I gave your suggestion another shot (see below), but got the same
result.
From the reading I've done I get the impression that make performs two
passes, and macro substitution for the "include $(INCFILE)" statement
is not resolving to the value of function `uname` used in the INCFILE
declaration.
So I'm still stumped...
Thanks
[tponko@localhos t src]$ make echo
Makefile:19: /home/tponko/src/Macros.`uname`. mk: No such file or
directory
make: *** No rule to make target `/home/tponko/src/Macros.`uname`. mk'.
Stop.
So I gave up and moved the compiler definition to my login script.
Since make recognizes env vars, this brute force approach was
sufficient. This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

I am giving you my understandings. Please correct me if I am wrong:
MACRO:
e.g.:#define ref-name 99
The code is substituted by the MACRO ref-name. So no overhead.
Execution is faster. Where will it be stotred?(Is it in bss/stack/?)

I have been using C for a very short while. I am used to macros in C,
but while i was reading the code for LittleOS (an open source OS), i
came across a type of macro wherein no value was given to substitute
the text. What does this imply? The code i came across is as follows:

Can you please suggest that in what cases should a macro be
preferred over inline function and viceversa ? Is there any case where

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
