This section describes a Cross-Compiler, Cross-Platform (CCCP) makefile development methodology using the make tool from GNU, also known as gmake. The syntax to use would be:

make platform.action

(ex: make Win, make Unix.clean, etc...).

Description

A CCCP makefile project a bunch of library, modules and program folders within a single root folder.

Regular folders

Every folder must contain the following files:

Makefile

encapsulates a list of all the folder's source-files and meta-files, a bunch of includes containing the makefile rules and, last but not least, the target dependencies. Several local variables are defined within:

INCS

LIBS

SRCDIR

contains the path to the source files

FILES

contains the list of source files (using the $(S) suffix)

METAFILES

contains the list of files required by the Makefile to run in this project (using the .smk suffix) besides the Makefile itself (of course).

TARGET

is the target name that the local makefile is supposed to build.

MODULES

contains the list of modules (special root folder only).

Dependencies

is a list of the dependent files and the respective dependencies.

Special folders and special files

There are two special folders, mandatory, and each containing special files, beyond the mandatory regular files listed above:

1. the root folder

   Makefile

   it's completely different from the regular folder Makefile. It contains the rules to build the Solution for a series of platform.

   Nix.mk

   it contains the regular folder Makefile structure and content. It also contains all the necessary configuration global variables specific to the CCCP solution. It must be configured for a specific platform (Linux, windows,etc...) by the administrator.

   Editme.mk

   Each user must edit this configuration file before building the solution. It contains the paths to required external libraries such as HDF5 or Netcdf.

2. the Makefiles folder

   Makemodules.mk

   contains the makefile rules to build (all), clean, install, etc, the target modules. It is invoked only from the root file Nix.mk.

   Makefiles.mk

   contains the makefile rules to build, clean, install, etc, the target files.

The makefile's global variables

The idea is to use global variables to pass arguments to the different modules makefiles. Thus, each specific platform makefile in the root folder defines these global variables. Then, it calls the modules makefiles who will use the global variables in their syntax. If a systematic approach of using global variables is implemented, then it is fairly easy to have a cross-platform makefile project implemented; and easily extended.

A template CCCP makefile solution

Special root folder's Makefile

 SHELL = /bin/sh
 
 export MAKE = make
 
 .PHONY: default
 default:
 	@echo Please choose your platform from: 
 	@echo Type "make (win nix).(' '  clean install sos)".
 
 #make all (add other platforms "Nix Nix Nix_double Win" ...)
 PLAT := Nix
 .PHONY : $(PLAT)
 $(PLAT):
 	$(MAKE) -f $@.mk all
 
 #make clean
 PLATCLEAN := $(addsuffix .clean, $(PLAT))
 .PHONY : $(PLATCLEAN)
 $(PLATCLEAN) :
 	$(MAKE) -f $(@:.clean=).mk clean
 
 #make install
 PLATINST := $(addsuffix .install, $(PLAT))
 .PHONY : $(PLATINST)
 $(PLATINST) :
 	$(MAKE) -f $(@:.install=).mk install

Special root folder's Editme.mk

#Edit the prefix of the installed binaries
# > make nix.install
export VER = x64_single

#Where do you want to install the binary files?
# > make nix.install
export DESTDIR = /usr/bin/mohid

#Where are the hdf5 libraries (with --enable-fortran) in your system?
export HDF5 = /home/Projects/hdf5/hdf5-1.6.5/hdf5/lib

#Where is the libz.a in your system?
export ZLIBINC = /usr/lib64
