Sur mon Blog : utiliser #gnumake pour faciliter la compilation de vos documents #latex

Cet article fait suite à mon précédent sur le fonctionnement de *make* et permet une mise en pratique.

Did you know GNU make has a feature that allows you to specify target-specific variables? Something like:

prog : CFLAGS = -g
prog : prog.o foo.o bar.o

`efivar` project managed to hit and expose an interesting aspect in it which caused `efivar`'s builds to become unstable under `make --shuffle` builds.

A bit of breakage mechanics in pictures are in this post: https://trofi.github.io/posts/294-an-obscure-make-shuffle-bug.html

#make #gnumake

Did not see `make --shuffle` to uncover any new failures in a while. But today is the day.

This time `efivar` has a missing dependency: https://github.com/rhboot/efivar/pull/245

For some reason `efivar` uses order-only dependencies against shared libraries it plans to link to, but let's leave it for another day.

#gnumake

A fairly old article that I wrote about using #GNUMake for #Java projects. I fucking detest ant/maven/gradle and all my projects instead use some variation of this (with netbeans/ant-modular for an ide), although everything I do is modular now.

GoProOverlay: added start/duration arguments to addOverlay.py.

Allows restriction of the add-overlay process to a part of the video, reducing processing time.

Had a chance to debug `openjdk` build failure related to `make-4.4.1` update (`make-4.4` was fine): https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/219513

The result is a one-liner fix: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/12992

The fix is very similar to the `glibc` one needed for `make-4.4`: https://sourceware.org/PR29564

#bug #make #gnumake

There's a special place for those folks that create a #Makefile only parse-able by #GNUMake.

GNU Make is my favorite make but there's also a reason that GNUmakefile exists.

Either make it portable or use the special name for just this case.

#ReleaseEngineering #ReleaseEngineeringGripes #ItsNotAllGnuLinux

It's okay, I put the non-deterministic parts in bash code that calls and is called by the Makefile. #makefile #gnumake

Okay, finally managed to look into why my #Makefiles fail with #GNU Make 4.4, what I was doing there in the first place and how to fix it

The actual change is pretty small: https://github.com/xoreos/xoreos-tools/commit/168e3114bed2faf70f06da5cdd7bac4db44a0d39

#introduction

Hello tooters! I'm an #embedded #SoftwareEngineer using #c #cplusplus #sh #GNUMake #Perl #Buildroot #Buildbot #Javascript #Thrift #Bootstrap #EclipseCDT #KDE #Debian #Linux to make high speed #microwave #radio network devices.

Also I build and #ride #bicycles outside in #Devon and inside on #Zwift, enjoy #cooking, #beer, red #wine and #coffee 😋

In a different life I might have been in #infosec #particlephysics #astrophysics #chemistry or #robotics !

Trying to #compile and work with #C++ code on #Windows only serves to give me a greater appreciation for how many fantastic, yet simple, tools we have on #Linux. Compiler flags that are actually understandible, #GNUMake files that are very easy to write and use, better, lighter waight #TextEditors, not some bloated, heavy mess like #VisualStudio, or something like #vscode, which demands you write your build configs in its own, custom JSON language.
