I'm working on a way for make to return some information from the makefile
given a particular target. I'll just get right into an example:
Makefile1 (for project A):
VERSIONNAMES = VERSIONA VERSIONB
VERSIONA = foo
VERSIONB = bar
make Makefile2
Makefile1 (for project B):
VERSIONNAMES = VERSIONA
VERSIONA = ugh
make Makefile2
Makefile2:
reportversions :
???? Help!
The goal would be for the user to type:
make reportversions
And have some text spit out to stdout (for project A):
VERSIONA = foo
VERSIONB = bar
Or for project B:
VERSIONA = ugh
Makefile1 is different for various projects but Makefile2 is common to all
of them. I figure there's some sort of for loop involved but I can't see how
this would be done from the make documentation. Any help is appreciated.
