Re: MAKEFLAGS (Was: forcing a rule)

[Noel Yap]

You missed the MAKEFILES portion of my email.

I haven't tried it, but I'm thinking of something like:

  # bootstrap.mk
  ifeq ($(MAKELEVEL),0)
    # re-exec make with new MAKEFLAGS
  endif
then set MAKEFLAGS=bootstrap.mk.

Hi Noel,
 

It's also just occurred to me that, using MAKEFILES and the "gmake self 
wrapper" trick, you could get what you want without having to patch make.  
OTOH, it is a bit more complicated even though the complication is hidden.


How is it hidden? In every makefile you have two write something like
this:
if <MAKEFLAGS need adjustment>
include make-re-executor.make
else

# your code here

endif

This is ugly. If I needed this feature in a project that otherwise
uses vanilla make I would think twice before patching make. But in
my case Rubicon is already crossed.
