Makefile with `ifeq` test for specific file - makefile

I am trying to set an if test for a specific file in my Makefile to compile it with different flags:
.f90.o:
ifeq ($<,main.f90)
#echo ok $<
$(F90) -c $< -o $#
else
#echo nope $<
$(F90) $(F90FLAGS) $(DEBUG) $(INCL) -c $< -o $#
endif
..and despite my efforts I am getting only:
nope main.f90
mpif90 -O2 -g -fbacktrace -fPIC -c main.f90 -o main.o

The ifeq conditional you have used is processed by Make at parse time, not when the recipe is executed. The macro $< is empty when your script is parsed so your recipe only ever contains the latter two lines.
One solution is to provide two recipes, one for your special case and then a pattern recipe for the rest:
main.o:main.f90
$(F90) -c $< -o $#
.f90.o:
$(F90) $(F90FLAGS) $(DEBUG) $(INCL) -c $< -o $#

Why doesn't makefile function properly?

I have this makefile:
src = $(notdir $(wildcard src/*.cpp))
obj = $(src:.cpp=.o)
libname ?= libtest
importlib_flags = -ldl -lboost_filesystem
parser: $(obj)
g++ -o $# $^
%.o: src/%.cpp
ifeq ($<,src/$(libname).cpp)
g++ -fpic -c $(libname).cpp -o $(libname).o
g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,$(libname).so.1 -o $(libname).so.1.0.1 $(libname).o -lc
else
g++ -c $< -o $# $(if $(findstring importlib, $<), $(importlib_flags))
endif
.PHONY: clean
clean:
rm -rf *.o *.so* parser
After I run make, I get this:
g++ -c src/libtest.cpp -o libtest.o
g++ -c src/importlib.cpp -o importlib.o -ldl -lboost_filesystem
g++ -c src/token.cpp -o token.o
g++ -c src/main.cpp -o main.o
g++ -o parser libtest.o importlib.o token.o main.o
First line implies makefile goes to else branch, but it should go to ifeq because $< expands to src/libtest.cpp which is equal to src/$(libname).cpp after being expanded. I don't set libname via command line. Why doesn't it work?
IIRC the expansion happens before the rule is actually run, therefore the $< is probably expanded to empty. I.e. the makefile parses the if/else before it runs the rule.
Then when the rule is run, it has "pre-selected" the else part since when it did the decision $< was not what it is during the rule.
So what you can do is use shell script (I am assuming bash), somthing like:
%.o: src/%.cpp
if [[ "$<" == "src/$(libname).cpp" ]] ; then \
g++ -fpic -c $(libname).cpp -o $(libname).o ; \
g++ -shared -Wl,-soname,$(libname).so.1 -o $(libname).so.1.0.1 $(libname).o -lc ; \
else \
g++ -c $< -o $# $(if $(findstring importlib, $<), $(importlib_flags)) ; \
fi
Note bash/shell vars are written like $${shell_var} and makefile vars are $(make_var) - just incase you need them!
Also note if you want to specifically use BASH add this to the top of your makefile:
SHELL:=/bin/bash

Identical Makefile nomenclature for using variable on different build commands with different results

There are three programs build by this Makefile. They follow the same pattern, but produce different build commands when run. Specifically, I require compilation with c++11 but can only achieve this on one of the build commands. Why is this?
Makefile:
CXX=g++
RM=rm -f
CFLAGS=-std=c++11 -g -Wall $(shell root-config --cflags)
LDFLAGS=-g $(shell root-config --ldflags)
LDLIBS=$(shell root-config --libs)
SOURCES=generic_queue.cpp map_compare.cpp vector_search.cpp
OBJS=$(SOURCES:.cpp=.o)
all: $(SOURCES) generic_queue_test list_of_lists map_compare_test vector_search_test
# Note that $(CFLAGS) is used in the $(CXX) ... command
# each time that a .o file is built.
vector_search_test: $(OBJS) vector_search_test.o
$(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o vector_search_test vector_search_test.o $(LDLIBS)
vector_search_test.o: vector_search.cpp vector_search.h
$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -c vector_search.cpp -o vector_search_test.o
generic_queue_test: $(OBJS) generic_queue_test.o
$(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o generic_queue_test generic_queue_test.o $(LDLIBS)
generic_queue_test.o: generic_queue.cpp generic_queue.h fixed_priority_queue.h
$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -c generic_queue.cpp -o generic_queue_test.o
list_of_lists: $(OBJS) list_of_lists.o
$(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o list_of_lists list_of_lists.o $(LDLIBS)
list_of_lists.o: list_of_lists.cpp list_of_lists.h
$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -c list_of_lists.cpp -o list_of_lists.o
map_compare_test: $(OBJS) map_compare.o
$(CXX) $(LDFLAGS) -o map_compare map_compare.o $(LDLIBS)
map_compare.o: map_compare.cpp map_compare.h
$(CXX) $(CFLAGS) -c map_compare.cpp -o map_compare.o
clean:
$(RM) $(OBJS) generic_queue_test.o list_of_lists.o map_compare.o
dist-clean: clean
$(RM) generic_queue_test list_of_lists map_compare
Output:
g++ -c -o generic_queue.o generic_queue.cpp
g++ -std=c++11 -g -Wall -pthread -m64 -I/usr/include/root -c map_compare.cpp -o map_compare.o
g++ -c -o vector_search.o vector_search.cpp
We see that only the second g++ command fully utilizes CFLAGS variable. Why? Does it have to do with the $(shell ...) portion of the CFLAGS variable?
Edit:
Was able to solve my problem by changing the name of the object file vector_search_test.o to vector_search.o Why did that work?
You have a couple of bugs in your makefile, adding up to this behavior.
First consider OBJS, which contains
generic_queue.o map_compare.o vector_search.o
These files are prerequisites of other targets, but you never actually use generic_queue.o or vector_search.o. Bug #1: you have extra prerequisites by mistake.
These files are prerequisites of other targets, so Make must build them. But how? You have provided rules for three object files:
vector_search_test.o: vector_search.cpp vector_search.h
...
generic_queue_test.o: generic_queue.cpp generic_queue.h fixed_priority_queue.h
...
list_of_lists.o: list_of_lists.cpp list_of_lists.h
...
map_compare.o: map_compare.cpp map_compare.h
...
That last one will do for map_compare.o, but you have given no rules for generic_queue.o or vector_search.o (and there's really no reason you should, since you never use them). But Make knows how to perform certain standard builds, such as foo.cpp => foo.o. If you don't provide a rule, Make will use its implicit rule, which works out to something like this:
generic_queue.o: generic_queue.cpp
$(CXX) $(CPPFLAGS) $(CXXFLAGS) -c generic_queue.cpp -o generic_queue.o
This is very similar to the rules you wrote. In fact, you probably wouldn't have noticed the difference -- and you could have omitted your rules and let Make rely on this one, but Bug #2, you added your flags -std=c++11 -g -Wall whatever to the wrong variable. Make uses CXXFLAGS to hold flags for the C++ compiler; you added yours to CFLAGS, which is for the C compiler.
(I've left out pattern rules and automatic variables since you don't seem to know about them-- I urge you to learn them, they're very useful, but that's for another day.)

Makefile with generic intermediate rules

I have a makefile that works that looks like this:
TARGET:=prog
SOURCES:=a.c b.c
CFLAGS:=-Wall -g -O2
OBJECTS:=$(SOURCES:%.c=%.o)
$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
gcc -o $# $^
%.o: %.c
gcc $(CFLAGS) -c -o $# $<
clean:
rm -f $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS)
The only variables that the user needs to change are the target name and the sources required to build it. The objects that need to be generated are automatically determined from the sources. I would like to extend this to support multiple targets, each with its own list of sources. I'm having trouble getting the syntax right, though. This is the general idea:
TARGETS:=prog1 prog2
SOURCES_prog1:=a.c b.c
SOURCES_prog2:=a.c c.c
CFLAGS:=-Wall -g -O2
OBJECTS_$#=$(SOURCES_$#:%.c=%.o)
$(TARGETS): $(OBJECTS_$#)
gcc -o $# $^
%.o: %.c
gcc $(CFLAGS) -c -o $# $<
clean:
rm -f $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS)
But I can't get the object list to be generated correctly. I'm also unsure how to write the clean rule to clean all of the objects. Is this possible?
There are two primary ways that I see to do this.
The first involves dynamically creating the target/prerequisite mappings using the $(eval) function.
TARGETS:=prog1 prog2
SOURCES_prog1:=a.c b.c
SOURCES_prog2:=a.c c.c
CFLAGS:=-Wall -g -O2
$(TARGETS):
gcc -o $# $^
$(foreach t,$(TARGETS),$(eval OBJECTS_$t := $(SOURCES_$t:.c=.o))$(eval $t: $(OBJECTS_$t)))
The second involves using Secondary Expansion.
TARGETS:=prog1 prog2
SOURCES_prog1:=a.c b.c
SOURCES_prog2:=a.c c.c
CFLAGS:=-Wall -g -O2
.SECONDEXPANSION:
$(TARGETS): $$(OBJECTS_$$#)
gcc -o $# $^
$(foreach t,$(TARGETS),$(eval OBJECTS_$t := $(SOURCES_$t:.c=.o)))
In either case the clean target becomes:
clean:
rm -f $(TARGETS) $(foreach t,$(TARGETS),$(OBJECTS_$t))

variable error in makefile

I have Makefile in Ubuntu12.10 as below.
when I run it by make command, it shows as
g++ -c -o myprog1.o myprog1.cpp
It seems the variables CFLAGS and CINCLUDE do not work.
Can any one help me to check it?
Thanks,
RM = rm -f
CC = gcc
AR = ar rc
CFLAGS= -Wall -g -O2 -std=c++11 -fPIC
CINCLUDE= -I. -I../include
OBJECTS= myprog1.o myprog2.o
STATIC_LIB = libctest.a
$(STATIC_LIB): $(OBJECTS)
$(AR) $(STATIC_LIB) $(OBJECTS)
%.o : %.c
$(CC) -c $(CFLAGS) $(CINCLUDE) $< -o $#
clean:
$(RM) $(OBJECTS)
$(RM) $(STATIC_LIB)
The problem is that you have a make rule for %.o : %.c but not for %.o : %.cpp. When you run the make, the implicit make rule for '%.cpp' runs, but the implicit rule doesn't contain references to CFLAGS or CINCLUDE.
Since your source is in c++, you probably want to add another rule for c++ compilation and set up the CXX variables appropriately.
CXXFLAGS = $(CFLAGS)
%.o : %.cpp
$(CXX) -c $(CXXFLAGS) $(CINCLUDE) $< -o $#

makefile putting objs in separate directory

Why does
$(OBJDIR)\%.o:$(SRDDIR)\%.s
$(GCC) -c -g -I$(SRCDIR) $(ASFLAGS) $< -o $#
$(OBJDIR)\%.o:$(SRDDIR)\%.c
$(GCC) -c -g -I$(SRCDIR) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $#
gives warning (says ignoring the first rule)
where as
%.o:%.s
$(GCC) -c -g -I$(SRCDIR) $(ASFLAGS) $< -o $#
%.o:%.c
$(GCC) -c -g -I$(SRCDIR) $(CFLAGS) $< -o $#
works fine but I will have all my sources and objs in the same directory.
I would like to put the objs (generated from assembly files and c files) in a separate directory( and I am running make on windows).
Try using forward slashes ("/") instead of backward ones ("\").
The -o flag of GCC determines where the output file are made.
So this may work if you change:
%.o:%.s $(GCC) -c -g -I$(SRCDIR) $(ASFLAGS) $< -o $#
TO
%.o:%.s $(GCC) -c -g -I$(SRCDIR) $(ASFLAGS) $< -o myoutputdir/$#
