gnustep-make is the GNUstep building system. It's a makefile library
|
|
that allows you to write powerful, robust and portable makefiles very
|
|
quickly. Traditionally it is used to build and install GNUstep software.
|
|
|
|
Most common targets:
|
|
_MAKE_ all (builds)
|
|
_MAKE_ install (builds and installs)
|
|
_MAKE_ uninstall (uninstalls)
|
|
_MAKE_ clean (deletes built files)
|
|
_MAKE_ distclean (deletes all built files)
|
|
_MAKE_ dist (creates a .tar.gz of the software sources)
|
|
|
|
Most common options that can be used with any of the targets:
|
|
messages=yes (prints verbosely all commands being executed)
|
|
debug=no (turns off generation of debug symbols)
|
|
strip=yes (strips executables and objects before installing)
|
|
shared=no (builds static executable and objects)
|
|
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM/LOCAL/NETWORK/USER (installs
|
|
in the specified domain; the default is LOCAL)
|
|
MAKEFILE_NAME=xxx (uses makefiles called 'xxx'; the default is
|
|
'GNUmakefile'. Note that usually you'd use this option as in
|
|
'_MAKE_ -f xxx MAKEFILE_NAME=xxx'.)
|
|
internalmessages=yes (prints verbosely all the recursive make
|
|
invocations. Useful for debugging gnustep-make itself.)
|
|
You can use multiple of these options at the same time.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
_MAKE_ messages=yes
|
|
Builds the software and prints verbosely the commands that are
|
|
being used (useful for debugging)
|
|
|
|
_MAKE_ install GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=USER
|
|
Builds the software and installs it into your user domain (normally
|
|
in the GNUstep directory of your home directory). Note that you
|
|
need to source GNUstep.sh to be able to use software installed
|
|
in your user domain.
|
|
|
|
_MAKE_ install strip=yes messages=yes
|
|
Builds and installs the software and strips executables and object
|
|
files before installing. It also prints verbosely the commands
|
|
being executed.

|
# We really need a proper user-facing manual that explains how
|
|
# to use GNUmakefiles from a user/packager point of view. Then
|
|
# we could link it from here.
