Hi Stephan, Thanks for your input...
In your solution....do you run the configure(1) script from the ROOT_SRC directory first. If so, this unfortunately it is not quiet what I am looking for. The requirement is, - check out the src code into any random place on your filesystem - go to any arbitrary subdir in the src tree and say make The only good news is that ROOT_SRC/Makefile can have some tell-tell signs that I am at the top (or ROOT_SRC) Thanks Medi On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 2:10 PM, Stephan Beal <[email protected]>wrote: > On Thu, Apr 8, 2010 at 8:43 PM, Montaseri <[email protected]> wrote: > >> include ../../../env.mk > > > In a nutshell, the way i work around that is to put something like this at > the top of my Makefiles: > > include thisdir.make > > thisdir.make gets generated by the configure script (or some shell script, > or whatever), and contains shared vars like: > > top_srcdir := relative path to top srcdir from $PWD > > That type of thing can be done with only a little bit of scripting. i've > got some rather involved examples if you'd like to dig around in them. > Contact me off-list if you like (email addy is at the link below) and i'll > see what i can extract for you. > > -- > ----- stephan beal > http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ > >
