I'm having a small issue with my builds, specifically the way a variable
is getting expanded. I suspect it is due to make's caching of the
directory contents.
In my makefile I have a variable defined like this:
outfiles = $(wildcard *.out)
which gets used later in the makefile like this:
define artifacts
@echo moving build artifacts for target $(1)
@$(MD) output/$(1)
@echo --- .out files are = $(outfiles)
-$(CP) $(outfiles) output/$(1)
...
endef
The artifact macro is in turn called by a build rule as follows:
release:
@echo -----Release build-----
@$(MAKE) -f $(makefile_name) clean OBJECTONLY=y
@$(MAKE) -f $(makefile_name) $(releasedefs)
$(call artifacts,$@)
The default target builds the .out
#build phoenix base code
projectA.out: ../project/src/main.o \
$(libraries) \
sharedlibs \
version
@echo building $@
@echo LD $@ $<
@$(LD) -Tlink_ram_asic.ld -Map projectA.map -o $@ $<
--start-group $(APPLIBS) $(LIBS) --end-group
Now when I run something like "make release" the out files don't get
copied because the wildcard variable seems to be getting expanded
immediately instead of deferred.
The echo output is empty --- .out files are =
So I am missing something completely obvious or what?
thanks,
