-Makefile variable naming style.
-
-* Each target is usually invoking one or more commands of the following type:
-
- (1) translator which translates target's prerequsites to target(s)
-
- (2) arbitrary command which doesn't create target (aka PHONY targets)
-
-Examples of type (1) are:
-
- - translation of c++ source to object code
-
- - translation of object code to executable/shared
-
-Examples of type (2) are:
-
- - test: terget
-
- - clean: target
-
-
-Some properties of these types of targets:
-
- (1) - usually implemented as an implicit rule
-
- - sometimes the same program is used as two separate translators
- (e.g. CXX is used as a compiler and as a linker)
-
-
-
- (2) - seldom (never?) implemented as an implicit rule
-
-
-
-Approach #1
-
-For type (1) name is derived from the translator's name e.g.
-
-CXX_COMPILE_FLAGS
-CXX_PREPROCESS_FLAGS
-CXX_LINK_FLAGS
-CXX_LINK_LIBS
-
-CC_
-LD_
-
-
-For type (2) name is derived from the target's name e.g.
-
-TEST_FLAGS
-CLEAN_FLAGS
-INSTALL_FLAGS
