Makefile

Universal build tool

• $@ = target name
• $^ = all prerequisites
• $< = first prerequisite
• := → evaluated once in whole script
• = → evaluated every time value is being used

Ensuring Cross Platform Compatibility

Here’s some tips on ensuring cross platform compatibility for Linux (shell) and Windows (cmd/powershell):

• use tabs to indent commands in makefile targets
• use cd dir && command instead of cd dir; command
• use built in @echo "TEXT $(VAR)" function for printing output
• avoid special characters after @echo statements

Generate Help Target

help: ## Show all Makefile targets
	@grep -E '^[a-zA-Z_-]+:.*?## .*$$' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | awk 'BEGIN {FS = ":.*?## "}; {printf "\033[36m%-30s\033[0m %s\n", $$1, $$2}'
