Change Makefile variable value
- by paulgray
Is there a way to reassign Makefile variable value inside of the target body?
What I am trying to do is to add some extra flags for debug compilation:
%.erl: %.beam
$(ERLC) $(ERLFLAGS) -o ebin $<
test: clean debug_compile_flag compile compile_test
debug_compile:
$(ERLCFLAGS) += -DTEST
So if I invoke test target I would like to clean up my environment, add some new flags (like -DTEST to the existing ones), compile the whole code once again (first sources, then test modules).
I do not want to copy/paste the code for compiling with some new flags set since there is a lot of logic put here and there.
Is there some easy way to redefine the variable value so I can reuse the existing code?
