Excluding platform specific files for a build
- Eliot Muir
Owned by Eliot Muir
This approach is to:
Name files with platform-specific suffixes (e.g.,
FooWindows.cppfor Windows,FooPosix.cppfor Linux/POSIX).Utilize GNU make's pattern substitution to exclude non-relevant platform files during the build process.
OBJECTS := $(patsubst %Windows.o,,$(OBJECTS)) # Remove object files named *Windows.*Â
