Hey folks,
Over the time a number of stuff has become quite duplicated across our
makefiles for dmd, druntime, and phobos.
These include fetching OS and model but (newer) general-purpose macros
for e.g. rebasing repos, see
https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/blob/master/posix.mak#L37.
I think it's time to reduce clutter and duplication by migrating such
common stuff into one common.mak file. Question is, where should that
file sit? One candidate is tools/ but it's not really a tool. Another
candidate is dmd/src/ because that would be the first thing anyone
depends on.
Oh God, please no. I really, really hate that the makefiles are are
looking in folders outside of the repositories.
Ideas?
If you really want to do something like this I would recommend creating
a new repository, acting like a super repository, including the other
repositories as submodules. Then you can create a new makefile that
builds everything. Although, I still don't want the makefiles in the
existing repositories be dependent on the new repository.
