General Makefile Application Guide for Advanced Embedded Programming

General Makefile Application Guide for Advanced Embedded Programming

Introduction For development on Windows, many IDEs integrate compilers, such as Visual Studio, providing a “one-click compile” feature, allowing the user to compile, link, and generate target files with just one operation after coding. Linux development differs from Windows; the gcc/g++ compiler is generally used in Linux. If developing Linux programs for ARM, the arm-linux-gcc/arm-linux-g++ … Read more

Taskfile vs Makefile: Which Build Tool Reigns Supreme?

Taskfile vs Makefile: Which Build Tool Reigns Supreme?

1. What is Taskfile Taskfile describes various execution tasks using YAML and is primarily written in Go. Compared to Makefile which uses tab-separated and bash syntax, Taskfile appears more modern and user-friendly (although it may turn you into a YAML engineer). Taskfile has built-in advanced features such as dynamic variables and recognition of operating system … Read more
