rtems/make/README
Joel Sherrill 98100d275f Monstrous patch from Ralf Corsepius <corsepiu@faw.uni-ulm.de>. I have
made no attempt to divide the comments up and place them with just
the appropriate files.  Here is an excerpt from Ralf's email:

Changes including comments on changes I made after cycling through
all the targets:

  * Added ranlib support. Now all targets use "ranlib" instead of "ar -s"
    to build an index for a library. If ranlib isn't detected during
    configuration, check if ar -s is working and try "ar -s" instead of

  * Removed $(XXX_FOR_TARGET) from make/target.cfg.in, use $(XXX) instead now.

  * gcc-target-default.cfg: LINK_XXXX-defines reworked to solve the -l
    problem under posix (cf gcc-target-default.cfg)

  * rtems-glom replaced by Makefile-rules inside of the wrapup/Makefile.in
    that has been using rtems-glom until now.

  * Removed CCC and friends in gcc-target-default.cfg, as they have been
    breaking CXX support.

  * Removed CONFIG.$(TARGET_ARCH).CC lines from several custom/*.cfg
    files, because this is now set in custom/default.cfg.

  * Added aclocal/ar-s.m4, check whether "ar -s" is working

  * Added aclocal/cygwin.m4 and aclocal/exeext.m4.

  * Reworked aclocal/canonicalize-tools.m4: Added ar -s check; fixes for
    problems when  XXX_FOR_TARGET is given via environment variables (didn't
    work for gcc until now), adding cygwin check, improved autoconf-cache
    handling.

  * Removed -l from make rule dependencies. LINK_LIBS is now allowed to
    contain -L and -l. LINK_OBJS and LINK_FILES must not contain -L or -l.
    gcc28 make-exe rules now link using $(LINK_OBJS) $(LINK_LIBS) => Almost
    all custom/*.cfg are modified. This is very likely to break something
    because of typos or having missed to edit a file.

  Open problems, known bugs, things I didn't do:

  * custom/p4000.cfg seems to be out of date and requires to be reviewed.

    (JRS NOTE: It is subordinate p4650 and p4600 -- both of which build ok
               after minor changes.)

  * custom/psim.cfg needs to be reviewed, I added some changes to it, I am
    insecure about.

    (JRS NOTE: psim had a minor problem endif/endef swapped but runs fine.)

  * rtems-glom.in can now be removed.

  * gcc*.cfg files "make depend" rules don't honor language specific flags
    (e.g CXXFLAGS is ignored for *.cc) - Nothing to worry about now, but may
    cause problems for hosts/targets not using gcc or rtems-add-ons that use
    external packages.

  * AFAIS, the no_bsp BSP can't be build anymore, i.e. configure refused
    to configure for it whatever I tried.

  * The toplevel and toplevel+1 README files are quite out-dated

  * cygwin.m4 isn't of much use for rtems. In most cases (cf.
    aclocal/*.m4) it is worked around by directly using $host_os. I think
    I'll remove it soon after the next snapshot

  * Before release the cygwin patch needs to be tested under cygwin. I may
    have broken/missed something (esp. the sed-pattern to convert \\ into /
    may be broken).

  * You should try to build/run the posix-BSP under solaris - I don't
    expect problems, but I am not 100% sure, esp. with regard to ranlib/ar -s.

  * You should consider to convert all make/compilers/*.cfg files into
    make/compilers/*.cfg.in files and let autoconf generate the *.cfg. This
    may help getting rid of some if/then/else statements and help
    hard-coding some defines into those files in future and shouldn't
    disturb now.

  * Not having installed libc.a/libm.a on a host may still break building
    rtems, esp. when using -disable-gcc28 as the gcc27-configuration scheme
    directly accesses libc.a and libm.a. The problem should not appear when
    using gcc28 because it references libc/libm only through -lc and -lm
    which may be static or dynamic (I didn't test this).

  * shgen is not yet included (I didn't yet have enough time to integrate it).

  * I know about a few more configure-probs (esp. cross-checking
    --enable-* flags).
     + warn/refuse to configure when --enable-libcdir and
       --enable-gcc28 are given.
     + force --enable-libcdir when --disable-gcc28 is given

  * Replaced KSHELL with @KSH@ in some shell scripts generated by configure.in.

  * Added a dependency to aclocal/*.m4 in the toplevel Makefile => configure
    and aclocal.m4 will now be rebuild when any aclocal/*.m4 file is changed

  * Some changes to aclocal/gcc-pipe.m4 and aclocal/gcc-specs.m4

  * Replaced i[[3456]]86-unknown-freebsd2.[[12]] with i[[3456]]86-*freebsd2.*
    in configure.in, as I suppose there might exist a variety of valid vendors
    (2nd field of the name-tripple)

  * Disabled override MAKEFLAGS in toplevel Makefile.in - Potential
    side-effects are not really clear to me.

  * In mvme162.cfg, $(LINK_LIBS) is missing in the CC line in gcc28's make-exe
    rule (yet another one I missed to edit). Just append $(LINK_LIBS) to
    the "CC" line, like I hopefully did to ALL other custom/*.cfg files.

  * the problem with mvme162lx.cfg is a follow-up problem of the
    mvme162.cfg-bug.

  * mvme162/console and idp/console had variables named Buffer which
    conflicted with similarly named variables in some tests.

make/README
This file describes the layout and conventions of the make tree used in
the RTEMS software project and others.
All of these "make" trees are substantially similar; however this
file documents the current state of the rtems Makefile tree.
This make tree was developed originally to simplify porting projects
between various os's. The primary goals are:
. simple *and* customizable individual makefiles
. use widely available GNU make. There is no pre-processing or
automatic generation of Makefiles.
. Same makefiles work on *many* host os's due to portability
of GNU make and the host os config files.
. Support for different compilers and operating systems
on a per-user basis. Using the same sources (including
Makefiles) one developer can develop and test under SVR4,
another under 4.x, another under HPUX.
. Builtin support for compiling "variants" such as debug,
profile, and tcov versions. These variants can be built
recursively.
. Control of system dependencies. "hidden" dependencies on
environment variables (such as PATH)
have been removed whenever possible. No matter what your
PATH variable is set to, you should get the same thing
when you 'make' as everyone else on the project.
This description attempts to cover all aspects of the Makefile tree. Most
of what is described here is maintained automatically by the configuration
files.
The example makefiles in make/Templates should be used as a starting
point for new directories.
There are 2 main types of Makefile:
directory and leaf.
Directory Makefiles
-------------------
A Makefile in a source directory with sub-directories is called a
"directory" Makefile.
Directory Makefile's are simply responsible for acting as "middle-men"
and recursing into their sub-directories and propagating the make.
For example, directory src/bin will contain only a Makefile and
sub-directories. No actual source code will reside in the directory.
The following commands:
$ cd src/bin
$ make all
would descend into all the subdirectories of 'src/bin' and recursively
perform a 'make all'.
A 'make debug' will recurse thru sub-directories as a debug build.
A template directory Makefile which should work in almost all
cases is in make/Templates/Makefile.dir
Leaf Makefiles
--------------
Source directories that contain source code for libraries or
programs use a "leaf" Makefile.
These makefiles contain the rules necessary to build programs
(or libraries).
A template leaf Makefile is in Templates/Makefile.leaf . A template
leaf Makefile for building libraries is in Templates/Makefile.lib .
NOTE: To simplify nested makefile's and source maintenance, we disallow
combining source and directories (that make(1) would be expected to
recurse into) in one source directory. Ie., a directory in the source
tree may contain EITHER source files OR recursive sub directories, but NOT
both.
Variants (where objects go)
---------------------------
All binary targets are placed in a sub-directory whose name is (for
example):
o-force386/ -- binaries (no debug, no profile)
o-force386-debug/ -- debug binaries
o-force386-profile/ -- profiling binaries
Using the template Makefiles, this will all happen automatically.
Within a Makefile, the ${ARCH} variable is set to o-force386,
o-force386-debug, etc., as appropriate.
Typing 'make' will place objects in o-force386.
'make debug' will place objects in o-force386-debug.
'make profile' will place objects in o-force386-profile.
NOTE: For RTEMS work, the word 'force386' is the specified
RTEMS_BSP (specified in the modules file)
The debug and profile targets are equivalent to 'all' except that
CFLAGS and/or LDFLAGS are modified as per the compiler config file for
debug and profile support.
Targets debug_install and profile_install are equivalent to 'make
install' except that debug (or profile) variants are built and
installed.
The targets debug, profile, debug_install, profile_install, etc., can be
invoked recursively at the directory make level. So from the top of a
tree, one could install a debug version of everything under that point
by:
$ cd src/lib
$ gmake debug_install
When building a command that is linked with a generated library, the
appropriate version of the library will be linked in.
For example, the following fragments link the normal, debug, or
profile version of "libmine.a" as appropriate:
LDLIBS += $(LIBMINE)
LIBMINE = ../libmine/${ARCH}/libmine.a
${ARCH}/pgm: $(LIBMINE) ${OBJS}
$(LINK.c) -o $@ ${OBJS} $(LDLIBS)
If we do 'gmake debug', then the library in
../libmine/sparc-debug/libmine.a will be linked in. If $(LIBMINE)
might not exist (or might be out of date) at this point, we could add
${LIBMINE}: FORCEIT
cd ../libmine; ${MAKE} ${VARIANT_VA}
The above would generate the following command to build libmine.a:
cd ../libmine; gmake debug
The macro reference ${VARIANT_VA} converts ${ARCH} to the word 'debug'
(in this example) and thus ensures the proper version of the library
is built.
Targets
-------
All Makefile's support the following targets:
all -- make "everything"
install -- install "everything"
The following targets are provided automatically by
the included config files:
clean -- delete all targets
clobber -- 'clean' plus delete sccs'd files
lint -- run lint or lint-like tool
get -- "sccs get" all sources
depend -- build a make dependency file
"variant targets" -- special variants, see below
All directory Makefiles automatically propagate all these targets. If
you don't wish to support 'all' or 'install' in your source directory,
you must leave the rules section empty, as the parent directory Makefile
will attempt it on recursive make's.
Configuration
-------------
All the real work described here happens in file(s) included
from your Makefile.
All Makefiles include a customization file which is used to select
compiler and host operating system. The environment variable
RTEMS_CUSTOM must point to this file; eg:
/.../make/custom/force386.cfg
All leaf Makefile's also include either 'make/leaf.cfg' (or
'make/lib.cfg' for building libraries). These config files provide
default rules and set up the command macros as appropriate.
All directory Makefiles include 'make/directory.cfg'. directory.cfg
provides all the rules for recursing through sub directories.
The Makefile templates already perform these include's.
'make/leaf.cfg' (or directory.cfg) in turn includes:
a file specifying general purpose rules appropriate for
both leaf and directory makefiles.
( make/main.cfg )
personality modules specified by the customization file for:
compiler ( make/compilers/??.cfg )
private customization files
---------------------------
[ $(RTEMS_CUSTOM) ]
Your own private configuration file. Specifies which of the above
files you want to include.
Example: custom/force386.cfg
CONFIG.$(HOST_ARCH).OS = $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/os/HPUX-9.0.cfg
# HOST Compiler config file
# You may also want to specify where the compiler resides here.
CC_$(HOST_ARCH)_DIR=/usr/local
CONFIG.$(HOST_ARCH).CC = $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/compilers/gcc.cfg
## Target compiler config file, if any
CC_$(TARGET_ARCH)_DIR=$(RTEMS_GNUTOOLS)
CONFIG.$(TARGET_ARCH).CC = $(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/compilers/gcc-force386.cfg
generic rules file
------------------
[ make/main.cfg ]
included by leaf.cfg or directory.cfg.
This file contains some standard rules and variable assignments
that all Makefiles need.
It also includes the FORCEIT: pseudo target.
OS config file for host machine
-------------------------------
[ make/os/OS-NAME.cfg ]
included by main.cfg
Figures out the target architecture and specifies command names
for the OS tools including RCS/CVS (but NOT for the compiler tools).
Compiler configuration for the target
-------------------------------------
[ compilers/COMPILER-NAME.cfg ]
included by leaf.cfg
Specifies the names of tools for compiling programs.
Names in here should be fully qualified, and NOT depend on $PATH.
Also specifies compiler flags to be used to generate optimized,
debugging and profile versions, as well as rules to compile
assembly language and make makefile dependencies.
Configuration Variables
-----------------------
Variables you have to set in the environment or in your Makefile.
Note: the rtems module files set RTEMS_ROOT and RTEMS_CUSTOM
for you.
Environment Variables
---------------------
RTEMS_BSP -- name of your 'bsp' eg: force386
RTEMS_ROOT -- The root of your source tree.
All other file names are derived from this.
[ eg: % setenv RTEMS_ROOT $HOME/work/rtems ]
RTEMS_CUSTOM -- name of your config files in make/custom
Example:
$(RTEMS_ROOT)/make/custom/$(RTEMS_BSP).cfg
RTEMS_GNUTOOLS -- root of the gcc tools for the target
The value RTEMS_ROOT is used in the custom
files to generate the make(1) variables:
PROJECT_ROOT
PROJECT_RELEASE
PROJECT_TOOLS
etc., which are used within the make config files themselves.
(The files in make/*.cfg try to avoid use of word RTEMS so
they can be more easily shared by other projects)
Preset variables
----------------
Aside from command names set by the os and compiler config files,
a number of MAKE variables are automatically set and maintained by
the config files.
CONFIG.$(HOST_ARCH).CC
-- full path of C compilation config file, set by custom
config file.
PROJECT_RELEASE
-- release/install directory
[ $(PROJECT_ROOT) ]
PROJECT_BIN
-- directory for installed binaries
[ $(PROJECT_ROOT)/bin ]
PROJECT_TOOLS
-- directory for build environment commands
[ eg: $(PROJECT_ROOT)/build-tools ]
TARCH -- ${TARGET_ARCH}
[ eg: o-forc386 ]
obsolete and should not be referenced
ARCH -- target sub-directory for object code
[ eg: o-force386 or o-force386-debug ]
HOST_ARCH
-- host machine architecture name
[ eg: sun4, sparc on SVR4 ]
VARIANTS -- full list of all possible values for $(ARCH);
used mainly for 'make clean'
[ eg: "o-force386 o-force386-debug o-force386-profile" ]
VARIANT_VA -- Variant name.
Normally "", but for 'make debug' it is "debug",
for 'make profile', "profile, etc.
see make/leaf.cfg for more info.
Preset compilation variables
----------------------------
This is a list of some of the compilation variables.
Refer to the compiler config files for the complete list.
CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE_V -- value of optimize flag for compiler
[ eg: -O ]
CFLAGS_DEBUG_V -- value of debug flag for compiler
[ eg: -g ]
CFLAGS_PROFILE_V -- compiler profile flags
[ eg: -pg ]
CFLAGS_DEBUG_OPTIMIZE_V
-- optimize flag if compiling for debug
[ eg: "" ]
CFLAGS_DEBUG
CFLAGS_PROFILE
CFLAGS_OPTIMIZE -- current values for each depending
on make variant.
LDFLAGS_STATIC_LIBRARIES_V
-- ld option for static libraries
-Bstatic or -dy (svr4)
LDFLAGS_SHARED_LIBRARIES_V
-- ld option for dynamic libraries
-Bdynamic or -dn (svr4)
LIB_SOCKET
-- ld(1) -l option(s) to provide
socket support.
LIB_MATH -- ld(1) -l option(s) to provide
math library.
Makefile Variables
------------------
The following variables may be set in a typical Makefile.
C_PIECES -- File names of your .c files without '.c' suffix.
[ eg: C_PIECES=main funcs stuff ]
CC_PIECES -- ditto, except for .cc files
S_PIECES -- ditto, except for .S files.
LIB -- target library name in leaf library makefiles.
[ eg: LIB=${ARCH}/libmine.a ]
H_FILES -- your .h files in this directory.
[ eg: H_FILES=stuff.h extra.h ]
DEFINES -- cc -D items. Included in CPPFLAGS.
leaf Makefiles.
[ eg: DEFINES += -DUNIX ]
CPPFLAGS -- -I include directories.
leaf Makefiles.
[ eg: CPPFLAGS += -I../include ]
YFLAGS -- Yacc flags.
leaf Makefiles.
[ eg: YFLAGS += -v ]
LD_PATHS -- arguments to -L for ld.
Will be prefixed with '-L' or '-L ' as appropriate
and included in LDFLAGS.
LDFLAGS -- -L arguments to ld; more may be ADDed.
LD_LIBS -- libraries to be linked in.
[ eg: LDLIBS += ../libfoo/${ARCH}/libfoo.a ]
XCFLAGS -- "extra" CFLAGS for special needs. Pre-pended
to CFLAGS.
Not set or used by Makefiles.
Can be set on command line to pass extra flags
to the compiler.
XCPPFLAGS -- ditto for CPPFLAGS
Can be set on command line to pass extra flags
to the preprocessor.
XCCPPFLAGS -- same as XCPPFLAGS for C++.
XCCFLAGS -- same as XCFLAGS for C++.
SUB_DIRS -- list of sub directories for make recursion.
directory Makefiles only.
[ eg: SUB_DIRS=cpu bsp ]
CLEAN_ADDITIONS
-- list of files or directories that should
be deleted by 'make clean'
[ eg: CLEAN_ADDITIONS += y.tab.c ]
See 'leaf.cfg' for the 'clean:' rule and its
default deletions.
CLOBBER_ADDITIONS
-- list of files or directories that should
be deleted by 'make clobber'
Since 'make clobber' includes 'make clean',
you don't need to duplicate items in both.
TARGET_ARCH -- target architecture (eg: o-force386)
leaf makefiles only.
Should be specified before 'include leaf.cfg'.
Only needs to be specified if your target is
different from output of `arch`.
Command names
-------------
The following commands should only be called
as make variables:
MAKE,INSTALL,SHELL
ECHO,CAT,RM,CP,MV,LN,MKDIR,CHMOD
ED,SED
CC,CPP,AS,AR,LD,NM,SIZE,RANLIB,MKLIB,
YACC,LEX,LINT,CTAGS,ETAGS
Special Directory Makefile Targets
----------------------------------
all_WRAPUP
clean_WRAPUP
install_WRAPUP
clean_WRAPUP
clobber_WRAPUP
depend_WRAPUP
-- Specify additional commands for recursive
(directory level) targets.
This is handy in certain cases where you need
to do bit of work *after* a recursive make.
make/Templates
--------------
This directory contains Makefile and source file templates that
should help in creating or converting makefiles.
Makefile.leaf
Template leaf Makefiles.
Makefile.lib
Template leaf library Makefiles.
Makefile.dir
Template "directory" makefile.
