How to get current relative directory of your Make

2019-01-16 02:06发布

问题:

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?

回答1:

The shell function.

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)).

Update.

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 run cd /; make -f /home/username/project/Makefile, the current_dir variable will be /, not /home/username/project/.

Code below will work for any for Makefiles invoked from any directory:

mkfile_path := $(abspath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))
current_dir := $(notdir $(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(mkfile_path))))


回答2:

As taken from here;

ROOT_DIR:=$(shell dirname $(realpath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))

Shows up as;

$ cd /home/user/

$ make -f test/Makefile 
/home/user/test

$ cd test; make Makefile 
/home/user/test

Hope this helps



回答3:

If you are using GNU make, $(CURDIR) is actually a built-in variable. It is the location where the Makefile resides the current working directory, which is probably where the Makefile is, but not always.

OUTPUT_PATH = /project1/bin/$(notdir $(CURDIR))

See Appendix A Quick Reference in http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html



回答4:

THIS_DIR := $(dir $(abspath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))


回答5:

I tried many of these answers, but on my AIX system with gnu make 3.80 I needed to do some things old school.

Turns out that lastword, abspath and realpath were not added until 3.81. :(

mkfile_path := $(word $(words $(MAKEFILE_LIST)),$(MAKEFILE_LIST))
mkfile_dir:=$(shell cd $(shell dirname $(mkfile_path)); pwd)
current_dir:=$(notdir $(mkfile_dir))

As others have said, not the most elegant as it invokes a shell twice, and it still has the spaces issues.

But as I don't have any spaces in my paths, it works for me regardless of how I started make:

  • make -f ../wherever/makefile
  • make -C ../wherever
  • make -C ~/wherever
  • cd ../wherever; make

All give me wherever for current_dir and the absolute path to wherever for mkfile_dir.



回答6:

I like the chosen answer, but I think it would be more helpful to actually show it working than explain it.

/tmp/makefile_path_test.sh

#!/bin/bash -eu

# Create a testing dir
temp_dir=/tmp/makefile_path_test
proj_dir=$temp_dir/dir1/dir2/dir3
mkdir -p $proj_dir

# Create the Makefile in $proj_dir
# (Because of this, $proj_dir is what $(path) should evaluate to.)
cat > $proj_dir/Makefile <<'EOF'
path := $(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(abspath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)))))
cwd  := $(shell pwd)

all:
    @echo "MAKEFILE_LIST: $(MAKEFILE_LIST)"
    @echo "         path: $(path)"
    @echo "          cwd: $(cwd)"
    @echo ""
EOF

# See/debug each command
set -x

# Test using the Makefile in the current directory
cd $proj_dir
make

# Test passing a Makefile
cd $temp_dir
make -f $proj_dir/Makefile

# Cleanup
rm -rf $temp_dir

Output:

+ cd /tmp/makefile_path_test/dir1/dir2/dir3
+ make
MAKEFILE_LIST:  Makefile
         path: /private/tmp/makefile_path_test/dir1/dir2/dir3
          cwd: /tmp/makefile_path_test/dir1/dir2/dir3

+ cd /tmp/makefile_path_test
+ make -f /tmp/makefile_path_test/dir1/dir2/dir3/Makefile
MAKEFILE_LIST:  /tmp/makefile_path_test/dir1/dir2/dir3/Makefile
         path: /tmp/makefile_path_test/dir1/dir2/dir3
          cwd: /tmp/makefile_path_test

+ rm -rf /tmp/makefile_path_test

NOTE: The function $(patsubst %/,%,[path/goes/here/]) is used to strip the trailing slash.



回答7:

Example for your reference, as below:

The folder structure might be as:

Where there are two Makefiles, each as below;

sample/Makefile
test/Makefile

Now, let us see the content of the Makefiles.

sample/Makefile

export ROOT_DIR=${PWD}

all:
    echo ${ROOT_DIR}
    $(MAKE) -C test

test/Makefile

all:
    echo ${ROOT_DIR}
    echo "make test ends here !"

Now, execute the sample/Makefile, as;

cd sample
make

OUTPUT:

echo /home/symphony/sample
/home/symphony/sample
make -C test
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/symphony/sample/test'
echo /home/symphony/sample
/home/symphony/sample
echo "make test ends here !"
make test ends here !
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/symphony/sample/test'

Explanation, would be that the parent/home directory can be stored in the environment-flag, and can be exported, so that it can be used in all the sub-directory makefiles.



回答8:

Here is one-liner to get absolute path to your Makefile file using shell syntax:

SHELL := /bin/bash
CWD := $(shell cd -P -- '$(shell dirname -- "$0")' && pwd -P)

And here is version without shell based on @0xff answer:

CWD=$(abspath $(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(abspath $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))))

Test it by printing it, like:

cwd:
        @echo $(CWD)


回答9:

If the make variable contain the Relative path is ROOT_DIR

ROOT_DIR := ../../../

Them to get the absolute path just use below method.

ROOT_DIR := $(abspath $(ROOT_DIR))

Its work fine in GNUMake...



回答10:

update 2018/03/05 finnaly I use this:


shellPath=`echo $PWD/``echo ${0%/*}`

# process absolute path
shellPath1=`echo $PWD/`
shellPath2=`echo ${0%/*}`
if [ ${shellPath2:0:1} == '/' ] ; then
    shellPath=${shellPath2}
fi

It can be executed correct in relative path or absolute path. Executed correct invoked by crontab. Executed correct in other shell.

show example, a.sh print self path.

[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# more /root/test/a.sh
shellPath=`echo $PWD/``echo ${0%/*}`

# process absolute path
shellPath1=`echo $PWD/`
shellPath2=`echo ${0%/*}`
if [ ${shellPath2:0:1} == '/' ] ; then
    shellPath=${shellPath2}
fi

echo $shellPath
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# more /root/b.sh
shellPath=`echo $PWD/``echo ${0%/*}`

# process absolute path
shellPath1=`echo $PWD/`
shellPath2=`echo ${0%/*}`
if [ ${shellPath2:0:1} == '/' ] ; then
    shellPath=${shellPath2}
fi

$shellPath/test/a.sh
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# ~/b.sh
/root/test
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# /root/b.sh
/root/test
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# cd ~
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz ~]# ./b.sh
/root/./test
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz ~]# test/a.sh
/root/test
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz ~]# cd test
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz test]# ./a.sh
/root/test/.
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz test]# cd /
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# /root/test/a.sh
/root/test
[root@izbp1a7wyzv7b5hitowq2yz /]# 

old: I use this:

MAKEFILE_PATH := $(PWD)/$({0%/*})

It can show correct if executed in other shell and other directory.
