Hi,
I will explain the context.
I have a build system which has inter-dependencies between modules.
So for building a module i hope to write a single function which uses a
single argument,namely, the module name:
define build_module
MODULE_NAME=$(1); \
$(do_some_sanity_checks); \
echo building module $$MODULE_NAME; \
for dep in `extract_dependencies_of_the_module`;do \
$(call build_module,$$dep); \
done; \
$(do_build)
endef
My hope being, the module which has no dependencies builds first and so
on..But it does not achieve what is intended.
Any hints are greatly appreciated.
regards
kalyan
