Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting how to programmatically generate makefile variable Post 302536013 by benkial on Monday 4th of July 2011 12:43:57 AM

Corona688, thanks for you reply. I'm kind of new to the makefile business...

You are right, if I use "echo $VERSION" under any of the rules, the "`" expression will be evaluated, and the correct version string will be printed. So, is this the correct way people do to get some contents into the makefile?

This seems kind of odd to me, because each occurrence of $VERSION will cause an evaluation of the "`" expression. This is not what I would expect the behavior for the "variable" be. Or is there a better way to do this in make?

ml-makedepend(1)					      General Commands Manual						  ml-makedepend(1)

NAME
ml-makedepend - list files a ML program depends upon SYNOPSIS
ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -n ] [ -f makefile ] project.cm target ml-makedepend [ DU-options ] [ -a arch ] [ -o os ] [ -f makefile ] project.cm target DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the ml-makedepend command. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the origi- nal program does not have a manual page. The ml-makedepend script is part of the SML/NJ CM (Compilation and Library Manager) that is used to generate a list of files that a ML program depends on for use by make. OPTIONS
A summary of options is included below. -n ml-makedepend usually uses the make variables $(ARCH) and $(OPSYS) in the filenames for the Makefile. This option disables this feature. -a arch Use arch in place of $(ARCH). -o os Use os in place of $(OPSYS). -f makefile Name of the makefile to be used rather than the default Makefile. -Dname=value Set CM variable to given value. -Dname Set CM variable to 1. -Uname Unset CM variable. SEE ALSO
sml(1), ml-lex(1), ml-build(1), ml-yacc(1). The programs are documented fully by CM: The SML/NJ Compilation and Library Manager, User Manual, Matthias Blume, which is available via <http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/what/smlnj/doc/CM/new.pdf>. AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Aaron Matthew Read <amread@nyx.net>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). October 25, 2002 ml-makedepend(1)
