makefiles...
 

Three questions please:

1) Can I define all my paths used in, for example, g++ in a single text file and then use that text file with my makefiles? For example:

textfile:
PATHS := /foldera/folderb

makefile:
g++ ${PATHS} etc...


2) Can a makefile invoke another makefile and how?


3) I can't seem to use bash shell scripts in my makefile. For example (a simple not very useful example):

makefile:
echo "hello"
g++ ${PATHS} etc...

This will always give the error message "*** missing separator. Stop."

Hi -

Sure. Just say "include":

Sure. Just have some action do a "make":

If the script doesn't happen to be in your $PATH, you might have to qualify the name (e.g. "./MYSCRIPT.SH" instead of "MYSCRIPT.SH".

And don't forget to include the <tab> before every action ;-)

Here are a couple of links:

And remember:'Hope that helps .. PSM

Thanks.
