Re: [ECOS] PKGconf.mak problem

In article <37BAA355.76EDE274@netinsight.se> you write:

Hmm... yes. This is because we rely on the default build rules for GNU make.
So it is just told to build "testfile.o", and GNU make will just rebuild
the one it thinks of first :-/.

We're currently revamping the build system, so unless someone out there
thinks it is worth submitting a patch, there won't be an outright fix.

As a workaround you should be able to add a specific make rule to build
testfile.S. This is completely off the top of my head with the aid of cut and
paste, and therefore likely to be wrong, but here's an outline of what's
probably needed:

OTHER_TARGETS := testfile_s.stamp
OTHER_DEPS := testfile_s.d
OTHER_CLEAN := testfile_s.clean

.PHONY: testfile_s.clean

testfile_s.stamp: testfile_s.o
        $(AR) rcs $(PREFIX)/lib/$(LIBRARY) $?
        $(TOUCH) $@

testfile_s.o: testfile.S
        $(CXX)  -c $(INCLUDE_PATH) $(CFLAGS) -Wp,-MD,$(@:.o=.tmp) -o $@ $<
        @echo > $(@:.o=.d)
        @echo $@ ':' $< '\' >> $(@:.o=.d)
        @$(TAIL) +2 $(@:.o=.tmp) >> $(@:.o=.d)
        @$(RM) $(@:.o=.tmp)

testfile_s.clean:
        $(RM) testfile_s.stamp
        $(RM) testfile_s.o
