Linux

Hello Forum memebers,


I am kshyap kumran from bangalore india.

I working on porting project from solaris to linux ie C++ application porting from solaris to linux.while compiling on linux box i facing some issues.As i am new to linux environment i was blocked in the below mentioned issue.

ISSUE:
example path: /vobs/app/system/abe/ folder some config files are there.from this path while compling the application linking to solaris config file. in make file the path is
......................................................................
# ABE stuff
ABE_HOME = $(TOP)/system/abe4.6.1
ABE_INCPATH = -I$(ABE_HOME)
ABE_LIBPATH = -L$(ABE_HOME)/abe
ABE_LIBS = -lABE -lposix4 -lpthread
ABE_DEFINES =
..................................................................

from abe folder taking sun_config5.5.6.h. i am not able to understand how its is taking directly that config file without any hardcoding.

I am looking forward from you.

Thanks
Kshyap.

make is a programming language, what they have done with it really depends on what they have done with it, seeing five variable definitions doesn't tell me much.

It's possible it chooses the header file in the C code, not the makefile, via preprocessor statements.

If you're using the ./configure style automake system, it's an extremely complicated mess with 3 or 4 different languages involved.
