Is there any documentation similar to style(9)
that specifically addresses Makefile style issues?
In particular, I'm wrapping up my work on /rescue,
which is mostly a lot of Makefile hacking, and I
want to make sure I'm not violating any taboos. ;-)
1) Is there an accepted use for 'COPTS'?
My current draft adds COPTS support to
bsd.lib.mk. I can then use COPTS to
add flags when I re-compile portions
of the source tree for /rescue.
I could instead create a new Makefile
variable and add it to bsd.prog.mk and
bsd.lib.mk if there is an existing
convention for use of COPTS.
2) I notice that some existing preprocessor and
Makefile variables use leading underscores, some
don't. Is there a specific style convention
on this?
Thanks for pointers,
Tim Kientzle
