Introduction For development on Windows, many IDEs integrate compilers, such as Visual Studio, providing a “one-click compile” feature, allowing the developer to compile, link, and generate target files with a single operation after coding. Linux development differs from Windows; on Linux, the gcc/g++ compiler is typically used. If developing Linux programs for ARM, the arm-linux-gcc/arm-linux-g++ … Read more
Makefile A Makefile is a text file that contains a series of rules to tell the build tool make how to build a software project. It describes the dependencies between each source file in the project and specifies how to compile the source files into target files, as well as how to link these target … Read more
Introduction Many engineers without formal education in computer science are actually not familiar with the compilation and linking of projects (including the author). However, if we want to create our own projects or implement a project from 0 to 1, or if we want to optimize programs, modify the memory layout, or implement memory protection … Read more
Basic Rules The Makefile is based on declarative dependencies as follows target: prerequisite prerequisite2 command target2: target command2 If you run target2, due to the declared dependencies, target will run first. It is important to note that the default target in Makefile is both a target and a local file, unless you declare it as … Read more
Click the blue text Follow us What is Makefile? Perhaps many Windows programmers do not know this thing, because those Windows IDE do this work for you, but a good and professional programmer still needs to understand makefile. It’s like there are so many HTML editors now, but if you want to become a professional, … Read more
In a project, during the later stages of software development, the leadership proposed new requirements based on Client A’s requests to adjust some display information, while the overall logic remained largely unchanged. After accommodating these new requirements, Client B also raised new requests, requiring some customization of logic and display information. At this point, someone … Read more
This article will illustrate how Makefile works using two examples. The author’s aim is to summarize the common problems beginners encounter when writing Makefiles in a concise manner. After reading this article, you should be able to start writing your own Makefile. Platform: Ubuntu 20 Tools: make, gcc What is Makefile The Makefile describes the … Read more
1. Introduction 1. Introduction to make make is a build automation tool that looks for Makefile or makefile files in the current directory. If the corresponding file exists, it will complete the build tasks according to the rules defined within. 2. Introduction to Makefile With Makefile, we no longer need to manually input compilation commands … Read more
If you are a heavy command line user, learning Makefile can greatly improve your development efficiency. Below is a brief introduction to the knowledge and usage of Makefile. Makefile is a file that contains a set of instructions for compiling and building software projects. A Makefile typically contains a set of rules and dependencies that … Read more
In-Depth Study of Makefile In previous articles, we analyzed character device drivers together. If we have already written the driver code, what should we do next? First, we need to run make, and upon successful compilation, a globalmem.ko file will be generated. Next, we need to insert this kernel module into the kernel and use … Read more
