我使用过一些rake(一个Ruby make程序),它有一个选项,可以获得所有可用目标的列表,例如
> rake --tasks
rake db:charset # retrieve the charset for your data...
rake db:collation # retrieve the collation for your da...
rake db:create # Creates the databases defined in y...
rake db:drop # Drops the database for your curren...
...
但是在GNU make中似乎没有这样做的选项。
显然,代码几乎已经有了,截至2007年- http://www.mail-archive.com/help-make@gnu.org/msg06434.html。
不管怎样,我做了一个小hack来从makefile中提取目标,你可以将它包含在makefile中。
list:
@grep '^[^#[:space:]].*:' Makefile
它会给你一个已定义目标的列表。这只是一个开始——例如,它并没有过滤掉依赖关系。
> make list
list:
copy:
run:
plot:
turnin:
我把这两个答案结合起来:https://stackoverflow.com/a/9524878/86967和https://stackoverflow.com/a/7390874/86967
并做了一些转义,以便可以从makefile中使用。
.PHONY: no_targets__ list
no_targets__:
list:
sh -c "$(MAKE) -p no_targets__ | awk -F':' '/^[a-zA-Z0-9][^\$$#\/\\t=]*:([^=]|$$)/ {split(\$$1,A,/ /);for(i in A)print A[i]}' | grep -v '__\$$' | sort"
.
$ make -s list
build
clean
default
distclean
doc
fresh
install
list
makefile ## this is kind of extraneous, but whatever...
run
对于讨厌AWK的人来说,为了简单起见,这个精巧的设计适合我:
help:
make -qpRr $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)) | egrep -v '(^(\.|:|#|\s|$)|=)' | cut -d: -f1
(对于在Makefile外部使用,只需删除$(最后一个词…)或将其替换为Makefile路径)。
This solution will not work if you have "interesting" rule names but will work well for most simple setups. The main downside of a make -qp based solution is (as in other answers here) that if the Makefile defines variable values using functions - they will still be executed regardless of -q, and if using $(shell ...) then the shell command will still be called and its side effects will happen. In my setup often the side effects of running shell functions is unwanted output to standard error, so I add 2>/dev/null after the make command.
