Following is not working, do you know why?
Note: CURRENT_CLUSTER is not 'my-local-cluster' and stil fails.
check-env:
ifeq ($(CURRENT_CLUSTER), 'my-local-cluster')
$(error CURRENT_CLUSTER is local $(CURRENT_CLUSTER), should be production cluster)
endif
Maybe what you want would be something like :
check-env:
ifeq ($(CURRENT_CLUSTER),my-local-cluster)
$(error CURRENT_CLUSTER is local $(CURRENT_CLUSTER), should be production cluster)
endif
#echo Whatever
all:
#echo "Still good"
This will produce this result :
$ make check-env CURRENT_CLUSTER=my-local-cluster
Makefile:220: *** CURRENT_CLUSTER is local my-local-cluster, should be
$ make all CURRENT_CLUSTER=my-local-cluster
Still good
$ make check-env CURRENT_CLUSTER=anything
Whatever

Please believe me: I searched and tested a lot... but I don't get whats wrong here:
VERSION := 123
all:
ifndef VERSION
$(error VERSION not set)
else
$(info Start deploy $(VERSION))
endif
outputs VERSION not set
what I really wanted was to call make like VERSION=1.2.3 make but not even setting the variable in the Makefile worked
What am I missing?
For me it outputs Start deploy 123.
Note that ifndef and $(error) and $(info) are part of makefile syntax, not the recipe syntax belonging to all target. So, your code is equivalent to:
VERSION := 123
ifndef VERSION
$(error VERSION not set)
else
$(info Start deploy $(VERSION))
endif
I am using makefile to build my program in multiple system. Some system have installed colorgcc script. In my Makefile i want to check, if script exists
and depending on it i setting up CC variable. But my Makefile don't work correctly - in system, that haven't colorgcc, make always set $(CC) as colorgcc. Here's part of Makefile:
ifneq ("$(wildchar /usr/bin/colorgcc)","")
CC=colorgcc
else
CC=gcc
endif
I also tried to use this variant:
ifeq ( $(shell test -e /usr/bin/colorgcc), )
CC=colorgcc
else
CC=gcc
endif
In both case $(CC) doesn't depend of existence file /usr/bin/colorgcc
How can i solve my problem?
In the first case, you mistyped the function $(wildcard ...) so you get nothing, always.
In the second case, the output of test is always the empty string. It will set its exit code depending on whether the condition is true or not, but you are not examining its exit code, just the output it prints, which will always be nothing at all.
The docs provides:
'.EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES'
Simply by being mentioned as a target, this tells 'make' to export
all variables to child processes by default. *Note Communicating
Variables to a Sub-'make': Variables/Recursion.
However, the following makefiles show that only by making .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES a phony target, then and only then, will it have the desired effect on the makefile, i.e. to export ALL variables.
Makefile(version 1) is:
ifeq "$(MAKELEVEL)" "0"
foo=bar
.DEFAULT:;
all: .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES
#$(MAKE)
else
all:
#echo 'foo is: $(foo)'
endif
Running, we get:
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/myname'
foo is:
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/myname'
Makefile(version 2) is:
ifeq "$(MAKELEVEL)" "0"
foo=bar
.DEFAULT:;
all: .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES
#$(MAKE)
# This line is added in THIS version.
.PHONY: .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES
else
all:
#echo 'foo is: $(foo)'
endif
Running, we get:
make[1]: Entering directory '/home/myname'
foo is: bar
make[1]: Leaving directory '/home/myname'
Now, the only difference between these 2 versions of makefile, is that in the 2nd version, the .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES was made phony.
Why is the 'phoniness' needed in order to work?

Why is the 'phoniness' needed in order to work?
It's not. You didn't declare .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES as a target, you declared it as a prerequisite:
all: .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES
That's a prerequisite, not a target. If you declare it as a target:
.EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES:
then it will work and you won't have to declare it phony.
A more accurate question would be, why does declaring .EXPORT_ALL_VARIABLES as phony work even though it's not declared as a target? It happens because things that are marked phony are assumed to be targets even if they're not explicitly mentioned as such. That may or may not be a bug, depending on how you interpret the intent of .PHONY.
Your questions recently seem to follow a pattern: read the documentation, then write a makefile that does something similar to but not the same as what the documentation says, observe it doesn't work as described, then ask why not.
I'm trying to do an ifeq inside of a define within a Makefile, but I seem to be running into some errors, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something. I have the following Makefile:
$(info ---- start ----)
ifeq ("X","Y")
$(info DOES not appear_1)
endif
define TESTDEF
ifeq ("X","Y")
$(info SHOULD not appear)
# $(error DEFINITELY SHOULD not error...)
endif
endef
$(eval $(call TESTDEF, 1,2,3))
I'm getting the following error:
---- start ----
SHOULD not appear
Makefile:14: *** DEFINITELY SHOULD not error.... Stop.
Is there some trick that I'm missing? Is it possible to do ifeq's inside define? (note: this happens on both my native GNU 3.81 make, and on my mips uclibc cross-compiler)
When you call this function, Make evaluates the definition, using whatever parameters you provide (irrelevant in this case). So if the definition includes something like $(info ...) or $(error ...), even in a comment, Make will evaluate it and you'll see the result (see documentation; I've tested it in GNUMake 3.81).
To get the behavior you want, add a couple of dollar signs:
define TESTDEF
ifeq ("X","Y")
$$(info SHALL not appear)
# $$(info DEFINITELY SHALL not error...)
endif
endef
$(eval $(call TESTDEF))
I want to print some message while doing build process with a makefile. The following one can print the message, but it will not execute the script after it. How can I fix this issues?
ifeq (yes, ${TEST})
CXXFLAGS := ${CXXFLAGS} -DDESKTOP_TEST
test:
#echo '************ TEST VERSION ************'
else
release:
#echo "************ RELEASE VERSIOIN **********"
endif
It's not clear what you want, or whether you want this trick to work with different targets, or whether you've defined these targets elsewhere, or what version of Make you're using, but what the heck, I'll go out on a limb:
ifeq (yes, ${TEST})
CXXFLAGS := ${CXXFLAGS} -DDESKTOP_TEST
test:
$(info ************ TEST VERSION ************)
else
release:
$(info ************ RELEASE VERSIOIN **********)
endif
$(info your_text) : Information. This doesn't stop the execution.
$(warning your_text) : Warning. This shows the text as a warning.
$(error your_text) : Fatal Error. This will stop the execution.
