I have a several Makefiles in app specific directories like this:
/project1/apps/app_typeA/Makefile
/project1/apps/app_typeB/Makefile
/project1/apps/app_typeC/Makefile
Each Makefile includes a .inc file in this path one level up:
/project1/apps/app_rules.inc
Inside app_rules.inc I'm setting the destination of where I want the binaries to be placed when built. I want all binaries to be in their respective app_type
path:
/project1/bin/app_typeA/
I tried using $(CURDIR)
, like this:
OUTPUT_PATH = /project1/bin/$(CURDIR)
but instead I got the binaries buried in the entire path name like this: (notice the redundancy)
/project1/bin/projects/users/bob/project1/apps/app_typeA
What can I do to get the "current directory" of execution so that I can know just the app_typeX
in order to put the binaries in their respective types folder?
You can use shell
function: current_dir = $(shell pwd)
.
Or shell
in combination with notdir
, if you need not absolute path:
current_dir = $(notdir $(shell pwd))
.
Given solution only works when you are running make
from the Makefile's current directory.
As @Flimm noted:
Note that this returns the current working directory, not the parent directory of the Makefile.
For example, if you runcd /; make -f /home/username/project/Makefile
, thecurrent_dir
variable will be/
, not/home/username/project/
.
Code below will work for Makefiles invoked from any directory:
mkfile_path := $(abspath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
current_dir := $(notdir $(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(mkfile_path))))
