OSSP smake
Skeleton Makefile Generator
Abstract
OSSP smake is a powerful mechanism to generate standard Makefiles out
of skeleton Makefiles which only provide the essential parts. The
missing stuff gets automatically filled in by shared include files. A
reasonable scheme to create a huge Makefile hierarchy and to keep it
consistent for the time of development. The trick is that it merges
the skeleton (Makefile.sm) and the templates (include files)
in a priority-driven way, i.e. defines and targets can be overwritten.
The idea is taken from X Consortium's
imake, but the goal here is not inherited system independence
for the Makefiles, the goal is consistency and power without the need of
manually maintaining a Makefile hierarchy consisting of plain Makefiles.
