Paul,
I've followed your suggestions and let me keep it simple this time:
I don't understand why make isn't properly inserting values from the
define statement in the define statement.
My $(filter ...) and $(filter-out ...) logic was correct -- I verified
with a sample example. However, when I used $(warning __generic_target), all
that was printed out a null value following the assignment. This confuses me
because (with my limited understanding of make), the assignment /
substitution should not be occurring all at once, but instead should be
deferred until $(eval ...) is called.
I'm thinking of revising the infrastructure to follow more of a FreeBSD
ports-like include setup (include Makefile.inc, and recursively include
parent dir's Makefile.inc all the way up the tree to parent), but this still
won't solve the issue I'm seeing with $(filter*) and the null values I
think. However, that will eliminate some of the confusing $(eval ...)
statements I'm currently using within the defines.
Are there any known caveats to using built-in make functions from
within define'd statements that anyone knows of? Also, is there a built-in
equivalent to Makefile.inc with ppmake as there is with gmake (e.g. a file
that automatically gets searched for and included)?
Would you guys also have an issue with me helping make the error
messages a bit more intuitive? It's hard to tracking down issues associated
with some of the other error messages in define statements and in general.
Thanks,
-Garrett
