[Qemu-devel] one question on the makefile
All, I saw a makefile rule which confused. This is in the tests/Makefile .PHONY: $(patsubst %, check-qtest-%, $(QTEST_TARGETS)) $(patsubst %, check-qtest-%, $(QTEST_TARGETS)): check-qtest-%: $(check-qtest-y) $(call quiet-command,QTEST_QEMU_BINARY=$*-softmmu/qemu-system-$* \ gtester $(GTESTER_OPTIONS) -m=$(SPEED) $(check-qtest-$*-y),GTESTER $@) I know the general idea is to create a rule for target such as check-qtest-x86_64. There are two colons, usually there is one colon in dependency. And the result dependency is check-qtest-x86_64: tests/fdc-test tests/rtc-test tests/cwd-test It is expanded to the content of check-qtest-x86_64-y. I searched the googl and makefile manual. Do not find a result. Could someone give me a hint? Thanks a lot. -- Richard Yang Help You, Help Me

There are two colons, usually there is one colon in dependency. Search for Static pattern rules. Static pattern rules are probably the single most useful GNU make extension. They greatly limit the amount of magic the make does, so the resulting Makefiles are more easily debuggable. Here is an extract from the GNU make manual: = TARGETS ...: TARGET-PATTERN: PREREQ-PATTERNS ... RECIPE ... The TARGETS list specifies the targets that the rule applies to. The targets can contain wildcard characters, just like the targets of ordinary rules (*note Using Wildcard Characters in File Names: Wildcards.). The TARGET-PATTERN and PREREQ-PATTERNS say how to compute the prerequisites of each target. Each target is matched against the TARGET-PATTERN to extract a part of the target name, called the stem. This stem is substituted into each of the PREREQ-PATTERNS to make the prerequisite names (one from each PREREQ-PATTERN). = $* is also replaced by the stem. In fact in this case, the stem is not used in the PREREQ-PATTERNS, it is only used in the commands. Paolo
