Just curious if it is possible to embed a newline/carriage return at a
particular spot in the message spit out by $(error)? I've got a message
that would be easier to read if i could put a single newline in there
somewhere.. I tried (pardon the wrapping):
ifeq (,$(OBJDIR))
$(error No object directory found -- possible configuration problem? \n \
I looked for : $(OBJDIRS))
endif
One way would be to use define/endef to create a variable, since that
preserves newlines:
define err
No object directory found -- possible configuration problem?
I looked for : $(OBJDIRS)
endef
ifeq (,$(OBJDIR))
$(error $(err))
endif
I don't know if there's an easy way to do "inline" newlines, but in
general anytime you want newlines in things, define/endef is your guy.
