I usually copy stuff from the infinite pool of examples that /usr/src
can be. For building a library, I jump in /usr/src/lib/libfoo and
skim through a couple of Makefiles. After a while, you'll get the
hang of it and write all you need without looking at the `samples' :)
I got so used to working in the bsd.*.mk paradigm, that when I had to
build a Solaris kernel module for a system that uses GNU make, I wrote
a make include called sunos.kmod.mk and then started writing in Solaris
stuff like this:
$ cat sunos/modules/foo/Makefile
KMOD= foo
SRCS= foo.c fooddi.c foobar.c
include sunos.kmod.mk
$
