| 15 | Description: framework for writing simple makefiles for complex tasks
|
|---|
| 16 | The goals of the kBuild framework:
|
|---|
| 17 | - Similar behavior cross all supported platforms.
|
|---|
| 18 | - Flexibility, don't create unnecessary restrictions preventing ad-hoc
|
|---|
| 19 | solutions.
|
|---|
| 20 | - Makefile can very simple to write and maintain.
|
|---|
| 21 | .
|
|---|
| 22 | There are four concepts being tried out in the current kBuild incaration:
|
|---|
| 23 | - One configuration file for a subtree automatically included.
|
|---|
| 24 | - Target configuration templates as the primary mechanism for makefile
|
|---|
| 25 | simplification.
|
|---|
| 26 | - Tools and SDKs for helping out the templates with flexibility.
|
|---|
| 27 | - Non-recursive makefile method by using sub-makefiles.
|
|---|
| 28 | .
|
|---|
| 29 | kBuild does not provide any facilities for checking compiler/library/header
|
|---|
| 30 | configurations, that's not in its scope. If this is important for your
|
|---|
| 31 | project, check out the autoconf tool in the GNU build system. It is possible
|
|---|
| 32 | to use kBuild together with autoconf if you like, but you might just as well
|
|---|
| 33 | use the full GNU package.
