Makefile 中的变量扩展

Variable expansion in Makefiles

Make 似乎只在规则激活后扩展变量。

make ok 显示已解析的名称(即“test”)

make bad 声称依赖于“grep”(而不是“test”)

如何让 make 展开 NAME ,然后 它检查“坏”规则的依赖关系?

CMakeLists.txt:

add_executable(test testA.c testB.c)  # compiler (output input input ...)

生成文件(完整):

#========================================
# Shell cannot handle parentheses:
#    *** unterminated call to function 'shell': missing ')'.  Stop.
# Have also tried putting {"(", ")", "\(", "\)"} in variables
#   ...but it just created a different problem
#
#NAME := $(shell grep "add_executable(" CMakeLists.txt | sed 's/[^(]*( *\([^ ]*\) .*//')
  
#========================================
# Curious results (same with or without the colon)
#
NAME := `grep "add_executable(" CMakeLists.txt | sed 's/[^(]*( *\([^ ]*\) .*//'`
    
#========================================
# As expected, displays:
#    NAME=¦test¦"
#
PHONY: ok
ok:
    @echo "NAME=¦${NAME}¦"
 
#========================================
# Dies with:
#    *** No rule to make target '`grep', needed by 'bad'.  Stop."
#
.PHONY: bad
bad: ${NAME}
    @echo "NAME=¦${NAME}¦"

Makefile(相同,但经过压缩):

NAME := `grep "add_executable(" CMakeLists.txt | sed 's/[^(]*( *\([^ ]*\) .*//'`
ok:
    @echo "NAME=¦${NAME}¦"
bad: ${NAME}
    @echo "NAME=¦${NAME}¦"

使用 the shell function:

而不是反引号
NAME := ${shell sed -n '/add_executable/{s/add_executable( *//;s/ .*//;p;}' CMakeLists.txt}

(在 shell 命令周围使用大括号而不是圆括号是一种允许在 sed 命令中使用圆括号的做法,我不知道如何优雅地转义。)
