suggestion: new make function

2011-09-20 Thread Lawrence Ibarria
I have often hit problems with the limit of command line lengths many shells have (CMD.EXE in Windows in my case). This is a common case with few solutions, I have searched around: http://www.makelinux.net/make3/make3-CHP-5-SECT-6 I would like to propose a couple new functions in make that can h

Paul, What is the process to complete the discussion about the addition of this functionality to make? I would like to see it (I like the suggestions proposed in the thread). It would help me greatly and it should not force anyone to change their current makefiles, it is just an extension for

'withfile' function implementation

2011-12-15 Thread Lawrence Ibarria
This is a rather simple path that implements a very simplified version of what Tim suggested in his message of Sept 25th (https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-make/2011-09/msg00044.html ). Paul, what do you think? I'd rather not try to do everything, just focus on one thing. I am not sure how

That message is to be expected. RM is simply informing you that there is no file that conforms to '*~'. Do man rm to figure out a way to prevent this warning from appearing. -- Lawrence From: bug-make-bounces+libarria=nvidia@gnu.org [mailto:bug-make-bounces+libarria=nvidia@gnu.org] On

RE: Content tracking mode for make

2012-02-13 Thread Lawrence Ibarria
This looks like work for your code generator instead of make. The code generator could do a diff before replacing the file. Make would have to keep a backup copy of the last time it built with that file, increasing complexity and time for normal builds. I'd recommend against this. -- Lawrence

RE: Patch to allow make to load plugins that add new functions.

2012-04-05 Thread Lawrence Ibarria
I like this idea quite a bit. I see this as still work in progress to define what type of functions the plugins can have. Maybe they can even create or change make variables. In the case of variable_buffer_output, I'd suggest that each plugin has an 'initialization function'. This is a hands
