1. Introduction to Makefile Makefile is used in conjunction with the make tool to organize and manage the compilation and linking of project source code. The make tool identifies modified files, finds the affected related files based on dependencies, and finally compiles these files according to the rules. The Makefile records the dependencies and compilation … Read more
This article summarizes: This article mainly introduces the process of using Makefile to compile code into executable binary files for microcontrollers and discusses commonly used Makefile syntax. It narrates the transformation from a straightforward Makefile to a more universal Makefile. Introduction to Makefile The most common function of a Makefile is to inform the make … Read more
1What is Makefile In the previous study of compiling C programs, we learned that compiling a program is relatively simple. However, if we need to compile multiple files or files in different folders, we need to generate different library files and determine the compilation order of these files, which often requires many complex command lines … Read more
Makefile is an essential project management file that must be mastered in the development of C/C++ programs in a Linux environment. When you use the make command to compile a project, the make tool first looks for the Makefile in the root directory of the project before it can compile the program based on this … Read more
Clickthe blue text Follow us We previously described the concepts of Makefile; now we provide an example to see how to use it, and thus conclude the topic of Makefile. The directory and file contents we prepared are as follows: $ tree . ├── inc │ ├── add.h │ └── sub.h ├── Makefile └── src … Read more

If you are not familiar with Makefile, I recommend reading Ruanyifeng’s article “Make Command Tutorial[1]“. This article will guide you to write a more elegant Makefile through a refactoring example, so let’s get started! Assuming there is a project named foo, developed in Golang and deployed on Docker, its Makefile is as follows: APP = … Read more
Makefile: Build Automation We can use the make command line tool instead of manually typing in “compile”, “link”, and “flash” commands, automating the entire process. The make tool uses a configuration file called Makefile to read the instructions for executing actions. This automation is great because it also documents the process of building firmware and … Read more
1. Analysis of the Project Structure After CMake Build 1.1 Directory Structure After CMake Build After CMake build is complete, a directory named build will be generated in the root directory of the project. This directory is where all intermediate files and final target files generated during the CMake build process are stored. Below, we … Read more
What can Makefile do? Makefile can execute commands based on specified dependency rules and whether files have been modified. It is commonly used to compile software source code, only recompiling modified files, which significantly speeds up the compilation process. The Basic Format of Makefile Target: Dependencies Command The target is the result to be generated, … Read more
