Here's a list of implicit rules:. Let's see how we can now build a C program without ever explicitly telling Make how to do the compililation:. Static pattern rules are another way to write less in a Makefile, but I'd say are more useful and a bit less "magic". Here's their syntax:. Whatever was matched is called the stem. The stem is then substituted into the prereq-pattern , to generate the target's prereqs.

A typical use case is to compile. Here's the manual way :. While I introduce functions later on, I'll foreshadow what you can do with them. The filter function can be used in Static pattern rules to match the correct files. In this example, I made up the. Double-Colon Rules are rarely used, but allow multiple rules to be defined for the same target. If these were single colons, a warning would be printed and only the second set of commands would run. Add an before a command to stop it from being printed You can also run make with -s to add an before each line.

Add -k when running make to continue running even in the face of errors. Helpful if you want to see all the errors of Make at once. Add a - before a command to suppress the error Add -i to make to have this happen for every command. The export directive takes a variable and makes it accessible to sub-make commands.

In this example, cooly is exported such that the makefile in subdir can use it. Note: export has the same syntax as sh, but they aren't related although similar in function. There's a nice list of options that can be run from make.

Check out --dry-run , --touch , --old-file. You can have multiple targets to make, i. Recursive definitions will give an infinite loop error. Spaces at the end of a line are not stripped, but those at the start are.

String Substitution is also a really common and useful way to modify variables. Also check out Text Functions and Filename Functions.

You can override variables that come from the command line by using override. It has nothing to do with being a function. Note here that it's a bit different than having a semi-colon between commands, because each is run in a separate shell, as expected.

Run this example with make -i to see it print out the echo statement. Functions are mainly just for text processing. You can make your own using the call builtin function. Make has a decent amount of builtin functions. Note: don't add extra spaces for this shorthand. It will be seen as a search or replacement term. It converts one list of words separated by spaces to another. This appends an exclamation after each word:.

If so runs the second argument, otherwise runs the third. Make supports creating basic functions. You then call the function with the special call function. The include directive tells make to read one or more other makefiles. It's a line in the makefile makefile that looks like this:. This is particularly useful when you use compiler flags like -M that create Makefiles based on the source. For example, if some c files includes a header, that header will be added to a Makefile that's written by gcc.

I talk about this more in the Makefile Cookbook. Use vpath to specify where some set of prerequisites exist. Skip to content. Guru99 is Sponsored by Acunetix.
