-I in makefiles

linux
#1

Hy,

I’m using the OF github head, and trying to deal with the makefiles. If I need to include a library that have multiples subfolders like:

  
  
lib  
/include  
/otherthigs  
...

Should I complete the USER_CFLAGS variable with something like:

  
  
-I lib/include -I lib/other ...

Or there are other forms to do it, with something like wildcards, regex?

Thanks

haven’t tried with wildcards, but also never seen them being used in makefiles so i doubt it will work. anyway if you have a library with an include and some other directories probably you just need to put include in the search path and the others are source code.

and in most cases when a library has several dirs like:

  
  include  
    util  
    other  
    blah  
    ...

you need to add only include to the search path and the rest of them are solved by including like

  
#include "util/whatever.h"

a trick to add several things at the same time in makefiles is doing something like:

  
 $(addprefix $(shell ls -d libs/mylib/), -I libs/mylib/)
