Make files customizing

<< < (2/2)

bluebrother:
I was thinking about something like

--- Code: ---for i in builddir1 builddir2 builddir3; do make -C $i && make -C $i zip && cp $i/rockbox.zip ./$i-rockbox.zip; done

--- End code ---
not even the slightest modification to any Makefile needed. Will save much hassle if the Makefile changes ...

007quick:
Certainly wasn't very hard to edit the make files but I don't understand what your code does. I am fairly new to this whole thing so you will have to explain a bit more. Thanks!

bluebrother:
it loops through the named folders (builddir1, builddir2 and builddir3 in my example), builds the source in that folders and copies the resulting rockbox.zip to the current folder and prefixes the files with the foldername. So you just need to adjust your folder names apropriately and are done.

Of course you can extend that to be a bit more flexible about the names of the resulting files. You could omit the rockbox.zip ending and simply use the folder name (so builddir1 will create a builddir1.zip) or add a prefix (and make builddir1 create rockbox-builddir1.zip)

It's quite straightforward bash without anything special. FYI, I'm building the whole set of manuals frequently in a similar way.
