The approach of limiting the tool sets is appropriate for developmentĮnvironments which concentrate on limited languages, the original model of This tends to result in a slightly more arms length approach to the integration of tools. This variable should point to theĭirectory containing the sources.Providing a lot of flexibility allowing users to configure the tools that suit them. Variable, on Make implementations that support it, and if theĭeveloper-specific Makefile does. You can set it either to a blank value (which will obviously disableĪutomatic dependencies) or to whatever flags your compiler has for thisįinally, out-of-tree ("VPATH") builds are supported using the VPATH Value uses GCC syntax for it but if your compiler doesn't support it Generate Makefile dependencies in The default The special CC_DEPS_CFLAGS are flags passed to the compiler to Unless pkg-config reports erroneous flags. Manually overriding those should be seldom necessary, Theseĭefault to the result of $(PKG_CONFIG) -cflags and $(PKG_CONFIG) -libs respectively, on all $(PLUGIN_PACKAGES) packages and the Should contain flags required by all packages used by the plugin. There are also the special PACKAGES_CFLAGS and PACKAGES_LIBS that Used flags include CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, LDFLAGS and LIBTOOLFLAGS. One should never have to override them unless one tries to avoid using However that as the default for those respects the various tools above, LIBTOOL_CLEAN, LIBTOOL_INSTALL and LIBTOOL_UNINSTALL. Task-specific Libtool calls: LIBTOOL_CC, LIBTOOL_LD, : manages package flags, defaults to pkg-config.Īlthough Libtool is supposed to be used, and then overriding theįollowing should not be useful, the caller can also override some : creates directories recursively, defaults to mkdir -p : removes empty directories, defaults to rmdir Most tools and flags can be overridden, and will honor the values from Plugindir variable that defines the target directory for installationĬan be overridden, and defaults to Geany's plugin directory (as

Geany-plugin.mk-based Makefile can override several variables to In addition to the developer-specific variables, a user calling a # source geany-plugin.mk include $( VPATH)/geany-plugin.mk Usage as an end user If you don't care about # this and don't feel like you understand it, you can remove it and not # use it in the include below. # this is required to support VPATH building.

The default setup should also be fairly portable around Unices, but has Implementations, and has been tested with GNU and BSD Makes. The Makefile itself should be fairly portable around Make On the OS, or even the target architecture.

Libtool is especially hard to avoid, because building a shared libraryĭynamically loadable by an application can be vastly different depending About geany-plugin.mk Default dependenciesĭefault, and although it is possible to avoid using them, it requires On the other hand, the simplest setup only requires setting one single User, as a set of overrideable tools and flags.


One particular thing it intentionally doesn't support is theĮnvironment detection and configuration step. Powerful as can be "real" build systems like Autotools, CMake or others,īut intent to be simple, powerful enough and very easy to setup. Geany-plugin.mk provides (experimental) easy Make support forīuilding standalone Geany plugins.
