The Makefile package is a system of make commands that is designed to encapsulate all the complex details of building and installing various types of projects from libraries to applications to documentation. This frees the developer to focus on the details of their particular project. Only a fairly simple main makefile need to be written which specifies the type of project and files involved in the project.

Here is an example makefile (named GNUmakefile to emphasis the fact that it relies on special features of the GNU make program).
# # An example GNUmakefile # # Include the common variables defined by the Makefile Package include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make # Build a simple Objective-C program TOOL_NAME = simple # The Objective-C files to compile simple_OBJC_FILES = simple.m -include GNUmakefile.preamble # Include in the rules for making GNUstep command-line programs include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/tool.make -include GNUmakefile.postamble |
This is all that is necessary to define the project.

1.3.3 Static, Shared, and Dynamic Link Libraries |
Normally to compile a package which uses the Makefile Package it is
purely a matter of typing make
from the top-level directory of
the package, and the package is compiled without any additional
interaction.

By default the Makefile Package tells the compiler to generate debugging information when compiling Objective-C and C files. The following command illustrates how to tell the Makefile Package to pass the appropriate flags to the compiler so that debugging information is not put into the binary files.
make debug=no |

By default the Makefile Package does not tell the compiler to generate profiling information when compiling Objective-C and C files. The following command illustrates how to tell the Makefile Package to pass the appropriate flags to the compiler so that profiling information is put into the binary files.

By default the Makefile Package will generate a shared library if it is building a library project type, and it will link with shared libraries if it is building an application or command line tool project type. The following command illustrates how to tell the Makefile Package not to build using shared libraries but using static libraries instead.
make shared=no |
This default is only applicable on systems that support shared libraries; systems that do not support shared libraries will always build using static libraries. Some systems support dynamic link libraries (DLL) which are a form of shared libraries; on these systems, DLLs will be built by default unless the Makefile Package is told to build using static libraries instead, as in the above command.

Projects are divided into different types described below. To create a project of a specific type, just include the particular makefile. For example, to create an application, include this line in your main make file:
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make |
Each project type is independent of the others. If you want to create two different types of projects within the same directory (e.g. a tool and a java program), include both the desired makefiles in your main make file.

An Aggregate project is a project that consists of several subprojects. Each subproject can be of any other valid project type (including the Aggregate type). The only project variable is the SUBPROJECTS variable
SUBPROJECTS

1.4.8.1 Project Variables | ||
1.4.8.2 Example Makefile |
The Makefile Package provides a project type for building libraries; libraries can be built as static libraries, shared libraries, or dynamic link libraries (DLL) if the platform supports that type of library. Static libraries are supported on all platforms; while, shared libraries and DLLs are only supported on some platforms.

LIBRARY_NAME
should be assigned the list of name of libraries to
be generated. Most UNIX systems expect that the filename for the
library has the word `lib' prefixed to the name; i.e. the `c'
library has filename of `libc'. Prefix the `lib' to the
library name when it is specified in the LIBRARY_NAME
variable
because the Makefile Package will not automatically prefix it.
xxx_C_FILES
is the list of C files, with a `.c' extension,
that are to be compiled to generate the xxx library.
Replace the xxx with the name of the library as listed by
the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_OBJC_FILES
is the list of Objective-C files, with a `.m'
extension, that are to be compiled to generate the xxx library.
Replace the xxx with the name of the library as listed by the
LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_PSWRAP_FILES
is the list of PostScript wrap files, with a
`.psw' extension, that are to be compiled to generate the
xxx library. PostScript wrap files are processed by the
`pswrap' utility which generates a `.c' and a `.h' file
from each `.psw' file; the generate `.c' file is the file
actually compiled. Replace the xxx with the name of the
library as listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_HEADER_FILES
is the list of header filenames that are to be
installed with the library. If a filename has a directory path prefixed
to it then that prefix will be maintained when the headers are
installed. It is up to the user to make sure that the installation
directory exists; otherwise, an error will occur when the library is
installed, see xxx_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR. Replace the xxx with
the name of the library as listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_HEADER_FILES_DIR
is the relative path from the current
directory, where the makefile is located, to where the header files
specified by xxx_HEADER_FILES
are located. If a filename
specified in xxx_HEADER_FILES
has a directory path prefixed to it
then that path will not be removed when the Makefile Package accesses
the files, so do not specify a path with xxx_HEADER_FILES_DIR
that is already prefixed to the header filenames, see xxx_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR. xxx_HEADER_FILES_DIR
is optional; leaving it blank or undefined, and the Makefile Package
assumes that the relative path to the header files is the current
directory where the makefile resides. Replace the xxx with the
name of the library as listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR
specifies the relative subdirectory
path below GNUSTEP_HEADERS
where the header files are to be
installed. If this directory or any of its parent directories do not
exist, then the Makefile Package will create them. The Makefile Package
prefixes xxx_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR
to each of the filenames in
xxx_HEADER_FILES
when they are installed, so if the filenames in
xxx_HEADER_FILES
already have a directory path prefixed then the
user is responsible for creating that directory, the Makefile Package
will not create. xxx_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR
is optional;
leaving it blank or undefined, and the Makefile Package assumes that the
installation directory is just GNUSTEP_HEADERS
with no
subdirectory. Replace the xxx with the name of the library as
listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_CPPFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to the
compiler preprocessor when compiling Objective-C and C files to generate
the xxx library. Adding flags here does not override the
default CPPFLAGS
, see CPPFLAGS, they are
in addition to CPPFLAGS
. These flags are specific to the
xxx library, see ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS,
to see how to specify global preprocessor flags. Replace the
xxx with the name of the listed as listed by the
LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_OBJCFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to the
compiler when compiling Objective-C files to generate the xxx
library. Adding flags here does not override the default
OBJCFLAGS
, see OBJCFLAGS, they are in
addition to OBJCFLAGS
. These flags are specific to the
xxx library, see ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS,
to see how to specify global compiler flags. Replace the xxx
with the name of the library as listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_CFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to the
compiler when compiling C files to generate the xxx library.
Adding flags here does not override the default CFLAGS
, see
CFLAGS, they are in addition to CFLAGS
.
These flags are specific to the xxx library, see
ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS, to see how to specify global
compiler flags. Replace the xxx with the name of the library
as listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_LDFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to the
linker when it creates the xxx library. Adding flags here does
not override the default LDFLAGS
, see LDFLAGS, they are in addition to LDFLAGS
. These flags
are specific to the xxx library, see
ADDITIONAL_LDFLAGS, to see how to specify
global linker flags. Replace the xxx with the name of the
library as listed by the LIBRARY_NAME
variable.
xxx_INCLUDE_DIRS
is the list of additional directories that the
compiler will search when it is looking for include files; these flags
are specific to the xxx library, see
ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS, to see how to specify
additional global include directories. The directories should be
specified as `-I' flags to the compiler. The additional include
directories will be placed before the normal GNUstep and system include
directories, and before any global include directories specified with
ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS
, so they will always be searched first.
Replace the xxx with the name of the library as listed by the
LIBRARY_NAME
variable.

This example makefile illustrates two libraries, `libone' and `libtwo', that are to be generated.
# # An example GNUmakefile # # Include the common variables defined by the Makefile Package include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make # Two libraries LIBRARY_NAME = libone libtwo # # The files for the libone library # # The Objective-C files to compile libone_OBJC_FILES = one.m draw.m # The C source files to be compiled libone_C_FILES = parse.c # The PostScript wrap source files to be compiled libone_PSWRAP_FILES = drawing.psw # The header files for the library libone_HEADER_FILES_DIR = ./one libone_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR = one libone_HEADER_FILES = one.h draw.h # # The files for the libtwo library # # The Objective-C files to compile libtwo_OBJC_FILES = two.m another.m test.m # The header files for the library libtwo_HEADER_FILES_DIR = ./two libtwo_HEADER_FILES_INSTALL_DIR = two libtwo_HEADER_FILES = two.h another.h test.h common.h # Option include to set any additional variables -include GNUmakefile.preamble # Include in the rules for making libraries include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/library.make # Option include to define any additional rules -include GNUmakefile.postamble |
Notice that the `libone' library has Objective-C, C, and PostScript wrap files to be compiled; while, the `libtwo' library only has some Objective-C files.
The header files for the `libone' library reside in the `one'
subdirectory from where the sources are located, and the header files
will be installed into the `one' subdirectory within
GNUSTEP_HEADERS
. Likewise the header files for the `libtwo'
library reside in the `two' subdirectory from where the sources are
located, and the header files will be installed into the `two'
subdirectory within GNUSTEP_HEADERS
.

A "native library" is a project which is to be built as a shared library on most targets and as a framework on Darwin. (Currently this is only the case for apple-apple-apple.) In other words, it is to be built as the most appropriate native equivalent of a traditional shared library (see Libraries (`library.make') and Frameworks (`framework.make')).
NATIVE_LIBRARY_NAME
should be the name of the native library,
without the 'lib'. All the other variables are the same as
the ones used in libraries and frameworks.
To compile something against a native library, you can use
ADDITIONAL_NATIVE_LIBS += MyLibrary
This will be converted into -lMyLibrary link flag on for most
targets and into -framework MyLibrary link flag for
apple-apple-apple.
To add the corresponding flags, you can use
ADDITIONAL_NATIVE_LIB_DIRS += ../MyPath
This will be converted into -L../MyPath/$(GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR) flag
on for most targets and into -F../MyPath flag for apple-apple-apple.

The NSIS make project provides rules for automatically generating NSIS installers for Windows operating systems. In order to get this functionality, include `Master/nsis.make' from the Makefiles directory in your GNUmakefile.
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/Master/nsis.make |
To create an installer file by itself, run make nsifile
. To
create the full installer executable, run make nsis
. Note that in
order to do this, you must be either running on a Windows computer with
a release of the NSIS compiler (from http://nsis.sourceforge.net) or you
need to be using a cross-compiler and cross-compiled NSIS script compiler.
(NOTE: This does not currently work - you need to use the GUI NSIS compiler
to compile the installer scripts).
Currently the nsis make package only makes installers for
Applications. It will use the `nsi-app.template' file in the
GNUstep Makefiles directory. If you want, you can provide your own
template with customized script instructions by creating a file called
`PACKAGE_NAME.nsi.in', where PACKAGE_NAME
is the same as the
name of your package (see below).
You also need to define several variables in your main make file.
Except for PACKAGE_NAME
, which is required, all the following
variables are optional.
PACKAGE_NAME
defines the name of the NSIS installer. In most
cases this will be the same as the name of your project type. For
instance, if you are creating a application, and have set
APP_NAME
to `MyApplication', Then set PACKAGE_NAME
to
the same thing, or just use PACKAGE_NAME=$(APP_NAME)
. if
PACKAGE_NAME
is not set, it defaults to unnamed-package
Set PACKAGE_VERSION
to the release version number of your package. If not
set, it defaults to 0.0.1
Set GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
to the domain where you want to install
the software. This should be either SYSTEM
), LOCAL
, or USER
.
If not set it defaults to LOCAL
.

1.4.11.2 Example Makefile |
The Makefile Package provides a project type that is useful for building Objective-C programs that do not depend upon the GNUstep libraries. Objective-C programs which only use the Objective-C Runtime Library and the classes it defines are candidates for this project type.
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
Most of the project variables work the same as in Library projects (see Libraries (`library.make')).
OBJC_PROGRAM_NAME
is the list of names of Objective-C programs
that are to be built; each name should be unique as it is the name of
the executable file that will be generated.
xxx_OBJC_LIBS
is the list of additional libraries that the linker
will use when linking to create the xxx Objective-C program
executable file. These libraries are specific to the xxx
Objective-C program, see ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS,
to see how to specify additional global libraries. These libraries are
placed before all of the Objective-C Runtime and system libraries, and
before the global libraries specified with ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS
,
so that they will be searched first when linking. The additional
libraries should be specified as `-l' flags to the linker as the
following example illustrates. Replace the xxx with the name
of the program as listed by the OBJC_PROGRAM_NAME
variable.
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
This makefile illustrates two Objective-C programs, `simple' and `list' that are to be generated.
# # An example GNUmakefile # # Include the common variables defined by the Makefile Package include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make # Build a simple Objective-C program OBJC_PROGRAM_NAME = simple list # Have the Objective-C runtime macro be defined for simple program simple_CPPFLAGS = $(RUNTIME_DEFINE) # The Objective-C files to compile for simple program simple_OBJC_FILES = simple.m # The Objective-C files to compile for list program list_OBJC_FILES = list.m linkedlist.m # The C files to compile for list program list_C_FILES = sort.c # Option include to set any additional variables -include GNUmakefile.preamble # Include in the rules for making Objective-C programs include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/objc.make # Option include to define any additional rules -include GNUmakefile.postamble |
The `simple' Objective-C program only consists of single
Objective-C file; while, the `list' Objective-C program consists of
two Objective-C files and one C file. The `simple' Objective-C
program use the variable defined by the Makefile Package,
RUNTIME_DEFINE
, to define a macro based upon the Objective-C
Runtime library; presumably `simple.m' has code which is dependent
upon the Objective-C Runtime.

The RPM project provides rules for automatically generating RPM spec files in order to make RPM distributions. Note that this project makefile is included automatically when you include any other project type in your GNUmakefile. It is non necessary to include `rpm.make'.
Except for PACKAGE_NAME
, which is required, all the following
variables are optional. It is recommended that you set them anyway in
order to provide the standard information that is present in most RPM
distributions.
PACKAGE_NAME
defines the name of the RPM distribution. In most
cases this will be the same as the name of your project type. For
instance, if you are creating a application, and have set
APP_NAME
to `MyApplication', Then set PACKAGE_NAME
to
the same thing, or just use PACKAGE_NAME=$(APP_NAME)
. if
PACKAGE_NAME
is not set, it defaults to unnamed-package
Set PACKAGE_VERSION
to the release version number of your package. If not
set, it defaults to 0.0.1
Set GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
to the domain where you want to install
the software. This should be either SYSTEM
), LOCAL
, or USER
.
If not set it defaults to LOCAL
.
Set this to YES
if a configure script needs to be run before
compilation
In addition you need to provide a stub spec file named for the package name, such as this example `libobjc.spec.in' file:

`GNUmakefile.preamble' is an optional file that may be put within the package for declaring global makefile variables for the package. The filename, `GNUmakefile.preamble', is just a convention; likewise, the variables defined within it can be put in the normal `GNUmakefile' versus in this special file. However, the reason for this convention is that the `GNUmakefile' may be automatically maintained by a project management system, like Project Center, so any changes made to `GNUmakefile' may be discarded by that project management system.
The file, `GNUmakefile.preamble', in the Makefile Package is a template that can be used the project's `GNUmakefile.preamble'. It is not necessary to have a `GNUmakefile.preamble' with the project unless it is actually needed, the Makefile Package will only include it if it is available, see Structure of a Makefile for information on how the Makefile Package includes a `GNUmakefile.preamble'.
The rest of this section describes the individual global variables that the Makefile Package uses which are generally placed in the package's `GNUmakefile.preamble'.
ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to
the compiler preprocessor. Generally any macros to be defined for all
files are placed here; the are passed for both Objective-C and C files
that are compiled. RUNTIME_DEFINE
, FOUNDATION_DEFINE
,
GUI_DEFINE
, and GUI_BACKEND_DEFINE
are some makefile
variables which define macros that can be assigned to
ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS
. The following example illustrates the use
of ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS
to define a macro for the Objective-C
Runtime Library plus an additional macro that is specific to the
package.
ADDITIONAL_CPPFLAGS = $(RUNTIME_DEFINE) -DVERBOSE=1 |
ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to
the compiler when compiling Objective-C files. Adding flags here does
not override the default OBJCFLAGS
, see OBJCFLAGS, they are in addition to OBJCFLAGS
. Generally
ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS
are placed before OBJCFLAGS
when the
compiler is executed, but one should avoid having any placement
sensitive flags because the order of the flags is not guaranteed. The
following example illustrates how you can pass additional Objective-C
flags.
ADDITIONAL_OBJCFLAGS = -Wno-protocol |
ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to the
compiler when compiling C files. Adding flags here does not override
the default CFLAGS
, see CFLAGS, they are
in addition to CFLAGS
. Generally ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS
are
placed before CFLAGS
when the compiler is executed, but one
should avoid having any placement sensitive flags because the order of
the flags is not guaranteed. The following example illustrates how you
can pass additional C flags.
ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS = -finline-functions |
ADDITIONAL_LDFLAGS
are additional flags that will be passed to
the linker when it creates an executable; these flags are passed when
linking a command line tool, and application, or an Objective-C program.
Adding flags here does not override the default LDFLAGS
, see
LDFLAGS, they are in addition to
LDFLAGS
. Generally ADDITIONAL_LDFLAGS
are placed before
LDFLAGS
when the linker is executed, but one should avoid having
any placement sensitive flags because the order of the flags is not
guaranteed. The following example illustrates how you can pass addition
linker flags.
ADDITIONAL_LDFLAGS = -v |
ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS
is the list of additional directories that
the compiler will search when it is looking for include files. The
directories should be specified as `-I' flags to the compiler. The
additional include directories will be placed before the normal GNUstep
and system include directories, so they will always be searched first.
The following example illustrates two additional include directories;
/usr/local/gnu/include
will be searched first, then
/usr/gnu/include
, and finally the GNUstep and system directories
which are automatically defined by the Makefile Package.
ADDITIONAL_INCLUDE_DIRS = -I/usr/local/gnu/include -I/usr/gnu/include |
ADDITIONAL_LIB_DIRS
is the list of additional directories that
the linker will search when it is looking for library files. The
directories should be specified as `-L' flags to the linker. The
additional library directories will be placed before the GNUstep and
system library directories so that they will be searched first by the
linker. The following example illustrates two additional library
directories; /usr/local/gnu/lib
will be searched first, then
/usr/gnu/lib
, and finally the GNUstep and system directories
which are automatically defined by the Makefile Package.
ADDITIONAL_LIB_DIRS = -L/usr/local/gnu/lib -L/usr/gnu/lib |
ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS
is the list of additional libraries that the
linker will use when linking command line tools, applications, and
Objective-C programs, see Command Line Tools (`tool.make'), Graphical Applications (`application.make'), and
Objective-C Programs (`objc.make'). For Objective-C programs, ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS
is placed before all of the Objective-C Runtime and system libraries so
that they will be searched first when linking. For command line tools
and applications, ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS
is placed before
all of the Objective-C Runtime and system libraries but after the
Foundation and GUI libraries. Libraries specified with
ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS
should only depend upon the Objective-C
Runtime and/or system functions, not Foundation or GUI classes;
Foundation dependent libraries should be specified with
ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS
and GUI dependent libraries should be
specified with ADDITONAL_GUI_LIBS
. The additional libraries
should be specified as `-l' flags to the linker as the following
example illustrates.
ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS = -lSwarm |
ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS
is the list of additional libraries that the
linker will use when linking command line tools and applications, see
Command Line Tools (`tool.make') and Graphical Applications (`application.make'). For command line tools,
ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS
is placed before all of the GNUstep and
system libraries so that they will be searched first when linking. For
applications, ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS
is placed before the
Foundation and system libraries but after the GUI libraries. Libraries
specified with ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS
should only depend upon the
Foundation classes and/or system functions, not GUI classes; GUI
dependent libraries should be specified with ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS
.
The additional libraries should be specified as `-l' flags to the
linker as the following example illustrates.
ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS = -lone -lsimple |
ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS
is the list of additional libraries that the
linker will use when linking applications, see Graphical Applications (`application.make').
ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS
is placed before all of the GUI, Foundation,
and system libraries so that they will be searched first when linking.
The additional libraries should be specified as `-l' flags to the
linker as the following example illustrates.
ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS = -lMiscGui |
LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON
is the set of libraries that the shared
library depends upon, see Libraries (`library.make') for more information about
building shared libraries; this variable is only relevant for library
project types. On some platforms when a shared library is built, any
libraries which the object code in the shared library depends upon must
be linked in the generation of the shared library. This is similar to
the process of linking an executable file like a command line tool or
Objective-C program except that the result is a shared library.
Libraries specified with LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON
should be listed
as `-l' flags to the linker; when possible use variables defined by
the Makefile Package to specify GUI, Foundation, or system libraries;
like GUI_LIBS
, FND_LIBS
, OBJC_LIBS
, or
SYSTEM_LIBS
. LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON
is independent of
ADDITIONAL_OBJC_LIBS
, ADDITIONAL_TOOL_LIBS
, and
ADDITIONAL_GUI_LIBS
, so any libraries specified there may need to
be specified with LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON
. The following example
illustrates the use of LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON
for a shared library
that is depend upon the Foundation, ObjC, system libraries and an
additional user library.
LIBRARIES_DEPEND_UPON = -lsimple $(FND_LIBS) $(OBJC_LIBS) $(SYSTEM_LIBS) |
ADDITIONAL_INSTALL_DIRS
is the list of additional directories
that should be created when the Makefile Package installs the file for
the project. These directories are only one that the project needs to
be created but that the Makefile Package does not automatically
create. The directories should be absolute paths but use the
GNUSTEP_LIBRARY
variable and other Makefile Package define
variables, see Directory Paths, so that the directories get
created in the appropriate place relative to the other file installed
for the project. The following example illustrates how two additional
directories can be created during installation.
ADDITIONAL_INSTALL_DIRS = $(GNUSTEP_RESOURCES)/MyProject |

The `GNUmakefile.postamble' file is an optional file you may include in your package to define additional rules that should be executed when making and/or installing the project. There is a template `GNUmakefile.postamble' file in the Makefile package that you can use as an example. Most of the rules are self explanatory. The `before-' rules define things that should happen before a process is executed (e.g. `before-all' for before compilation, `before-install' for before installation). The `after-' rules define things that should happen after a process is complete.
You can even define additional rules such as ones that a particular to your specific package or that are to be used by developers only.

Any of these variables that are defined by `common.make' can and should be used by the user's makefile fragments to reference directories and/or perform any tasks which are not done automatically by the Makefile Package. Most variables refer to directory paths, both absolute and relative, where files will be installed, but other variables are defined based upon the target platform that the person is compiling for. Do not change the values of any of these automatically defined variables as the resultant behaviour of the Makefile Package is undefined.
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
is the absolute path to the directory where the
Makefile Package files are located. Use GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
to
refer to a makefile fragment or script file from the Makefile Package
within a makefile; the GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES
variable should be
only be used within makefiles and not referenced within C or Objective-C
programs.
GNUSTEP_APPS
is the absolute path to the directory where GUI
applications are installed. This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_ADMIN_APPS
is the absolute path to the directory where
GUI applications for the system Administrator are installed. This
variable is dependent upon the GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change accordingly if the user specifies a
different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_WEB_APPS
is the absolute path to the directory where
web applications (for web development frameworks such as GSWeb or
SOPE) are installed. This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_TOOLS
is the absolute path for the root directory where
command line tools are installed. Only command line tools which are
target platform independent should be installed in GNUSTEP_TOOLS
;
target platform dependent command line tools should be placed in the
appropriate subdirectory of GNUSTEP_TOOLS
, see GNUSTEP_TARGET_DIR, and TOOL_INSTALLATION_DIR. This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_ADMIN_TOOLS
is the absolute path for the root directory
where command line tools for the system administrator are installed.
Only command line tools which are target platform independent should
be installed in GNUSTEP_ADMIN_TOOLS
; target platform dependent
command line tools should be placed in the appropriate subdirectory of
GNUSTEP_ADMIN)TOOLS
, see GNUSTEP_TARGET_DIR, and TOOL_INSTALLATION_DIR. This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_HEADERS
is the absolute path for the root directory where
header files are installed. Normally header files are not installed in
the GNUSTEP_HEADERS
directory, but in a subdirectory as specified
by the project which owns the files, see Libraries (`library.make') for more
information. GNUSTEP_HEADERS
should contain platform independent
header files because the files are shared by all platforms. Any target
platform dependent header files should be placed in the appropriate
subdirectory as specified by GNUSTEP_TARGET_DIR
. This variable
is dependent upon the GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the
path will change accordingly if the user specifies a different
installation domain.
GNUSTEP_LIBRARY
is the absolute path for the 'Library'
directory where all sorts of resources are installed. This directory
can be expected to have (at least) some standard subdirectories with
fixed names, which are ApplicationSupport
, Bundles
,
Frameworks
, ApplicationSupport/Palettes
,
Services
, Libraries/Resources
and Libraries/Java
.
You can access them in your GNUmakefile as
GNUSTEP_LIBRARY/ApplicationSupport
,
GNUSTEP_LIBRARY/Bundles
, etc. This variable is dependent upon
the GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will
change accordingly if the user specifies a different installation
domain.
GNUSTEP_LIBRARIES
is the absolute path for the directory where
libraries are installed taking the target platform and library
combination into account. This directory is generally where library
project types, see Libraries (`library.make'), will install the library file.
This variable is dependent upon the GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change accordingly if the user specifies a
different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_RESOURCES
is the absolute path for the directory where
resource files for libraries are installed; example resources are
fonts, printer type information, model files for system panels, and
system images. The resource files are generally associated with
libraries, because resources for applications or bundles are included
within the application or bundle directory wrapper.
GNUSTEP_RESOURCES
is the Libraries/Resources
subdirectory of GNUSTEP_LIBRARY
; it is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_DOC
is the absolute path for the directory where
documentation is installed (with the exception of man pages and info
documentation, which need to be installed into GNUSTEP_DOC_MAN
and GNUSTEP_DOC_INFO
). This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_DOC_MAN
is the absolute path for the directory where
man pages are to be installed. This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_DOC_INFO
is the absolute path for the directory where
info documentation is installed. This variable is dependent upon the
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
variable, so the path will change
accordingly if the user specifies a different installation domain.
GNUSTEP_HOST_DIR
is the subdirectory path for the host platform
CPU and operating system. It is a composed from the
GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU
and GNUSTEP_HOST_OS
variables.
GNUSTEP_TARGET_DIR
is the subdirectory path for the target
platform CPU and operating system. It is composed from the
GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU
and GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS
variables.
GNUSTEP_TARGET_DIR
is generally used as part of the
installation path when platform specific files are installed.
GNUSTEP_OBJ_DIR
is the subdirectory path where the Makefile
Package places binary files: object files, libraries, executables,
produced by the compiler. The Makefile Package separates binary files
for different target platforms, different library combinations, and
different compile options into different directories; these different
directories are subdirectories from the current directory where the
makefile resides. This structure allows a package to be compiled for
different target platforms, different library combinations, and
different compile options in place; i.e. the binary files are
separated from each other so a compile pass from one set of options do
not overwrite or erase binary files from a previous compile pass with
different options. Generally the user does not use this variable;
however, if the package needs to manually install some binary files
than the makefile fragment uses this variable to reference the path
where the binary file is located.
[ < ] | [ > ] | [ << ] | [ Up ] | [ >> ] | [Top] | [Contents] | [Index] | [ ? ] |
CONFIG_GUESS_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the
`config.guess' script within the Makefile Package; this script is
used to determine host and target platform information. The Makefile
Package executes this script to determine the values of the host
platform variables: GNUSTEP_HOST
, GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU
,
GNUSTEP_HOST_VENDOR
, GNUSTEP_HOST_OS
, and the target
platform variables: GNUSTEP_TARGET
, GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU
,
GNUSTEP_TARGET_VENDOR
, GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS
; generally the
user does not need to execute this script because the Makefile Package
executes it automatically.
CONFIG_SUB_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the `config.sub'
script within the Makefile Package; this script takes a platform name
and canonicalizes it, i.e. it puts the name in a standard form. The
Makefile Package uses this script when the user specifies a target
platform for compilation; the target platform name is canonicalized so
that the Makefile Package can properly parse the name into its
different components. Generally the user does not execute this
script.
CONFIG_CPU_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the `cpu.sh'
script within the Makefile Package; this script extracts the CPU name
from a canonicalized platform name. Generally the user does not
execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.
CONFIG_VENDOR_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the
`vendor.sh' script within the Makefile Package; this script
extracts the vendor name from a canonicalized platform name.
Generally the user does not execute this script; it is used internally
by the Makefile Package.
CONFIG_OS_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the `os.sh'
script within the Makefile Package; this script extracts the operating
system name from a canonicalized platform name. Generally the user
does not execute this script; it is used internally by the Makefile
Package.
CLEAN_CPU_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the
`clean_cpu.sh' script within the Makefile Package; this script
takes a platform CPU name and cleans it for use by the Makefile
Package. The process of cleaning refers to the situation where
numerous equivalent processors, which have different names, are mapped
to a single name. For example, the Intel line of processors: i386,
i486, Pentium, all have different CPU names, but the Makefile Package
considers them equivalent and cleans those names so that the single
name `ix86' is used. Generally the user does not execute this
script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.
CLEAN_VENDOR_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the
`clean_vendor.sh' script within the Makefile Package; this script
takes a platform vendor name and cleans it for use by the
Makefile Package. The process of cleaning refers to the situation
where numerous equivalent vendors, which have different names, are
mapped to a single name. Generally the user does not execute this
script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.
CLEAN_OS_SCRIPT
is the absolute path to the `clean_os.sh'
script within the Makefile Package; this script takes a platform
operating system name and cleans it for use by the Makefile
Package. The process of cleaning refers to the situation where
numerous equivalent operating systems, which have different names, are
mapped to a single name. Generally the user does not execute this
script; it is used internally by the Makefile Package.

GNUSTEP_HOST
is the canonical host platform name; i.e. the name
of the platform which is performing compilation of programs. For
example, a SPARC machine by Sun Microsystems running the Solaris 2.5.1
operating system has the name sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
.
GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU
is the CPU name for the canonical host
platform name; i.e. the name of the CPU platform which is performing
compilation of programs. The Makefile Package cleans this CPU name
with the CLEAN_CPU_SCRIPT
script before using it internally.
For example, the canonical host platform name of
i586-pc-linux-gnu
has a CPU name of ix86
.
GNUSTEP_HOST_VENDOR
is the vendor name for the canonical host
platform; i.e. the name of the vendor platform which is performing
compilation of programs. The Makefile Package cleans this vendor name
with the CLEAN_VENDOR_SCRIPT
script before using it internally.
For example, the canonical host platform name of
sparc-sun-solaris2.5.1
has a vendor name of sun
.
GNUSTEP_HOST_OS
is the operating system name for the canonical
host platform; i.e. the name of the operating system platform which is
performing compilation of programs. The Makefile Package cleans this
operating system name with the CLEAN_OS_SCRIPT
script before
using it internally. For example, the canonical host platform name of
i586-pc-linux-gnu
has an operating system name of
linux-gnu
.
GNUSTEP_TARGET
is the canonical target platform name;
i.e. compilation of programs generate object code for this platform.
By default the target platform is the same as the host platform unless
the user specifies a different target when running make, see Cross
Compiling.
GNUSTEP_TARGET_CPU
is the CPU name for the canonical target
platform; i.e. compilation of programs generate object code for this
CPU platform. The Makefile Package cleans this operating system name
with the CLEAN_CPU_SCRIPT
script before using it internally.
By default the target CPU platform is the same as the host CPU
platform, GNUSTEP_HOST_CPU
, unless the user specifies a
different target platform when running make, see Cross Compiling.
GNUSTEP_TARGET_VENDOR
is the vendor name for the canonical
target platform; i.e. compilation of programs generate object code for
this vendor platform. The Makefile Package cleans this vendor name
with the CLEAN_VENDOR_SCRIPT
script before using it internally.
By default the target vendor platform is the same as the host vendor
platform, GNUSTEP_HOST_VENDOR
, unless the user specifies a
different target platform when running make, see Cross Compiling.
GNUSTEP_TARGET_OS
is the operating system name for the
canonical target platform; i.e. compilation of programs generate
object code for this operating system platform. The Makefile Package
cleans this operating system name with the CLEAN_OS_SCRIPT
script before using it internally. By default the target operating
system platform is the same as the host operating system platform,
GNUSTEP_HOST_OS
, unless the user specifies a different target
platform, see Cross Compiling.

OBJC_RUNTIME_LIB
is assigned the code that indicates the
Objective-C Runtime library which compiled Objective-C programs will
use; the three possible values are: `gnu' for the GNU Runtime,
`nx' for the NeXT Runtime, and `sun' for the Sun
Microsystems Runtime. The Objective-C Runtime library can be changed
to use a library other than the default with the `library_combo'
make parameter, see Running Make for more details. Read
Library Combination for more information on how the Makefile
Package handles different library combinations. If a makefile must
perform specific operations dependent upon the Objective-C Runtime
library then this variable is the one to check.
RUNTIME_DEFINE
is assigned a preprocessor flag that can be
passed to the compiler which defines a macro based upon the
Objective-C Runtime library that compiled Objective-C programs will
use. This macro is useful if the compiled program must execute
different code based upon the Objective-C Runtime being used. See
Global Variables (`GNUmakefile.preamble') for an example on how to pass this
preprocessor flag when compiling. The three possible values are:
`-DGNU_RUNTIME=1' for the GNU Runtime, `-DNeXT_RUNTIME=1'
for the NeXT Runtime, and `-DSun_RUNTIME=1' for the Sun
Microsystems Runtime.
FOUNDATION_LIB
is assigned the code that indicates the
Foundation Kit library, as specified by the OpenStep specification,
which compiled Objective-C programs will use; the four possible values
are: `gnu' for the GNUstep Base Library, `nx' for the NeXT
Foundation Kit Library, `sun' for the Sun Microsystems Foundation
Kit Library, and `fd' for the libFoundation Library. The
Foundation Kit library can be changed to use a library other than the
default with the `library_combo' make parameter, see Running Make for more details. Read Library Combination for more
information on how the Makefile Package handles different library
combinations. If a makefile must perform specific operations
dependent upon the Foundation Kit library then this variable is the
one to check.
FND_DEFINE
is assigned a preprocessor flag that can be passed
to the compiler which defines a macro based upon the Foundation Kit
library, as specified by the OpenStep specification, which compiled
Objective-C programs will use. This macro is useful if the compiled
program must execute different code based upon the Foundation Kit
library being used. See Global Variables (`GNUmakefile.preamble') for an example on
how to pass this preprocessor flag when compiling. The four possible
values are: `-DGNUSTEP_BASE_LIBRARY=1' for the GNUstep Base
Library, `-DNeXT_Foundation_LIBRARY=1' for the NeXT Foundation
Kit Library, `-DSun_Foundation_LIBRARY=1' for the Sun
Microsystems Foundation Kit Library, and
`-DLIB_FOUNDATION_LIBRARY=1' for the libFoundation Library.
GUI_LIB
is assigned the code that indicates the Application Kit
library, as specified by the OpenStep specification, which compiled
Objective-C programs will use; the two possible values are: `gnu'
for the GNUstep GUI Library and `nx' for the NeXT Application Kit
Library. The Application Kit library can be changed to use a library
other than the default with the `library_combo' make parameter,
see Running Make for more details. Read Library Combination for more information on how the Makefile Package handles
different library combinations. If a makefile must perform specific
operations dependent upon the Application Kit library then this
variable is the one to check.
GUI_DEFINE
is assigned a preprocessor flag that can be passed
to the compiler which defines a macro based upon the Application Kit
library, as specified by the OpenStep specification, which compiled
Objective-C programs will use. This macro is useful if the compiled
program must execute different code based upon the Application Kit
library being used. See Global Variables (`GNUmakefile.preamble') for an example on
how to pass this preprocessor flag when compiling. The two possible
values are: `-DGNUSTEP_GUI_LIBRARY=1' for the GNUstep GUI Library
and `-DNeXT_Application_LIBRARY=1' for the NeXT Application Kit
Library.
GUI_BACKEND_LIB
is assigned the code that indicates the backend
library which compiled Objective-C programs will use in conjunction
with the GNUstep GUI Library. The three possible values are:
`xdps' for the GNUstep X/DPS GUI Backend Library, `nsx' for
the NSKit GUI Backend Library, and `w32' for the MediaBook WIN32
GUI Backend Library. GUI_BACKEND_LIB
is only relevant when
GUI_LIB
is set to `gnu'; otherwise, GUI_BACKEND_LIB
will be set to `nil' to indicate that there is no backend
library. GUI_BACKEND_LIB
can be changed to use a library other
than the default with the `library_combo' make parameter, see
Running Make for more details. Read Library Combination
for more information on how the Makefile Package handles different
library combinations. If a makefile must perform specific operations
dependent upon the backend library then this variable is the one to
check.
GUI_BACKEND_DEFINE
is assigned a preprocessor flag that can be
passed to the compiler which defines a macro based upon the backend
library which compiled Objective-C programs will use in conjunction
with the GNUstep GUI Library. This macro is useful if the compiled
program must execute different code based upon the backend library
being used. See Global Variables (`GNUmakefile.preamble') for an example on how to
pass this preprocessor flag when compiling. The three possible values
are: `-DXDPS_BACKEND_LIBRARY=1' for the GNUstep X/DPS GUI Backend
Library, `-DNSX_BACKEND_LIBRARY=1' for the NSKit GUI Backend
Library, and `-DW32_BACKEND_LIBRARY=1' for the MediaBook WIN32
GUI Backend Library. GUI_BACKEND_DEFINE
is not defined if
there is not backend library; i.e. GUI_BACKEND_LIB
is
`nil'.

OBJCFLAGS
are flags that are passed to the compiler when
compiling Objective-C files. The user can override this variable when
running make and specify different flags as the following command
illustrates:
make OBJCFLAGS="-Wno-implicit -Wno-protocol" |
CFLAGS
are flags that are passed to the compiler when compiling
C files. The user can override this variable when running make and
specify different flags as the following command illustrates:
make CFLAGS="-Wall" |
OPTFLAG
is the flag used to indicate the optimization level
that the compiler should perform when compiling Objective-C and C
files; this flag is set to `-O2' by default, but the user can
override this setting when running make as the following command
illustrates:
make OPTFLAG= |
This command sets the optimization flag to be empty so that no optimization will be performed by the compiler.
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
is the domain where the package
will install its files; overriding this variable when running make
will change all of the variables within the Makefile Package that
depend upon it; the following command illustrates the use of this
variable:
make GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN=SYSTEM |
This command states that the SYSTEM
domain should be used as
the installation root directory; in particualr applications in the
package will be installed in the `$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_APPS'
directory, libraries in the package will be installed under the
`$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_LIBRARIES' directory, command line tools will be
installed under the `$GNUSTEP_SYSTEM_TOOLS' directory, etc.
Depending on the filesystem layout, the various directories may be
located anywhere, which is why it's important to also refer to them by
using variables such as GNUSTEP_APPS
, GNUSTEP_LIBRARIES
and GNUSTEP_TOOLS
, which automatically point to the right
directory on disk for this filesystem layout and installation domain.
By default the Makefile Package sets
GNUSTEP_INSTALLATION_DOMAIN
to LOCAL
.
