The makefile language is similar to declarative programming, in which necessary end conditions are described but the order in which actions are to be taken is not important. The default goal is the target of the first rule in the first makefile. For each target pattern that matches the target file, make will look for an existing matching prerequisite. The class of a target can be determined either by a pattern, or by a suffix. If more than one pattern rule has the shortest stem, make will choose the first one found in the makefile. Any following line beginning with a tab are actions that are to be performed when this target needs to be made. In addition to target specific variable values see target specific variable values, gnu make supports pattern specific variable values. The value of the automatic variables is derived in the same fashion as for static pattern rules. This tutorial is based on the topics covered in the gnu make book.
For the sake of simplicity, we have not defined any prerequisites in this example. We use the special doublecolon separator to specify that this is a terminating match anything rule.

Pattern rules can have multiple targets but, unlike normal rules, the recipe is responsible for making all the targets.
If the target pattern doesnt contain slashes, make will remove the directory part from the target its trying to build before matching. This article introduces target and pattern specific variables and shows how they can be used to selectively alter options within a build based on the name of a target or targets being built. This is a gnu make feature, it wont work in other make implementations. To recommend you an efficient way for your use case for sending your saved. In addition to a predefined set of implicit rules, make allows you to define your own, either by pattern, or by suffix.

This feature allows you to define different values for the same variable, based on the target that make is currently building. Precious to preserve intermediate files created by rules whose target patterns match that files name. However after a successful configure i receive the following when executing make bootstrap makefile. Gnu make does not handle the spaces in the directory names given in the generated makefiles. Each target is matched against the target pattern to extract a part of the target name, called the stem. For some target patterns, there are many possible source files. The target, prerequisites, and recipes together make a rule. The pattern, just %, will match any target make wants to build.
A pattern rule is indicated by a single % character in the target. Make is a tool which controls the generation of executables and other nonsource files of a program from the programs source files. In your original code, you were saying that javac, classpath, d, etc were all dependencies. As of now its outputting all to the same file when i use this command.
If multiple rules match to the shortest stem, make will use the first one in the makefile. In addition to target specific variable values see target specific variable values, gnu make supports patternspecific variable values. Additionally the target will be removed from the previous group and appear only in the new group. Pattern rules are always treated as grouped targets see multiple targets in a rule regardless of whether. The target pattern and dep patterns say how to compute the prerequisites of each target. Im trying to make use of the decompiling of super mario 64.
The directory will then be put in front of the stem. Basically, i would like to properly handle this with gnu make. Cdt gnu project in a cygwin environnement either download the gnu make at. If one has multiple targets in a dependency, make applies the rules once for every target that is out of sync which is correct for normal compiling, but not here. Only users with topic management privileges can see it. In order for the pattern rule to apply, its target pattern must match the file name under consideration and all of its prerequisites after pattern substitution must name files that exist or can be made. Gnu make build fails with multiple target patterns. Targetspecific and patternspecific gnu make macros. So gnu make already knows that executing the pattern rule will generate all the targets of that rule, not only the target gnu make wants to update. Intermediate depends on are treated as intermediate files. Is there any way we can mention directories in target and prerequisites instead of file names sothat makefile pickup all the files in.
This allows make to apply the rule any time a target file matching the pattern needs to. But here im running into a conceptual problem of gnu make. So work will continue on this and a new time for trying updates will be announced asap. What i dont understand is that there is no target on line 72, its a variable affectation. The prerequisites likewise use % to show how their names relate to the target name. But avoid asking for help, clarification, or responding to other answers. The stem is then substituted for every % that appears in the prerequisite list for example, this rule. To prevent failures on incremental builds, it might make sense to always run qmake before building, even though it means that building will take more time. As with automatic variables, these values are only available within the context of a target s command script and in other target specific assignments. A pattern rule looks like an ordinary rule, except that its target. If the target pattern doesnt contain slashes, make will remove the directory part from the target its trying to. The target is considered a pattern for matching file names.
As make searches for an implicit rule, it substitutes the stem and then performs secondary expansion for every rule with a matching target pattern. When searching for a pattern rule to match a target, the target patterns of a rule other than the one that matches the target in need of a rule are incidental.

If one has multiple targets in a dependency, make applies the rules once for every target that is out of sync.
There are multiple words to the left of the rightmost colon, hence multiple target patterns. The other exception is target specific variable values. For users with gnu make and a shell which performs brace expansion, you can run the testsuites in parallel by having the shell perform the combinations and make do the parallel runs. But how many gnu make users are familiar with gnu makes locally scoped target specific and pattern specific variables. In this form, the variable is defined for any target that matches the pattern specified. The pattern matches a file name only if the file name starts with the prefix and ends with the suffix, without overlap.
