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:
Make默认情况下不支持此功能,其他回答已经展示了如何自动提取可能目标的列表。
然而,如果您想对清单有更多的控制,而不产生任何副作用(例如使用. phony目标标记文档,这阻止了使用目标名称作为Make用来决定需要重建哪些目标的实际文件的逻辑),您可以为文档发明自己的语法。我更喜欢这样使用###:
CPUS ?= $(shell nproc)
MAKEFLAGS += -j $(CPUS) -l $(CPUS) -s
# Basic paths
PREFIX ?= usr
BINDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/bin
ETCDIR ?= etc
MANDIR ?= $(PREFIX)/share/man
# ...
### help: Show help message (default target)
# use "help" as the default target (first target in the Makefile)
.PHONY: help
help:
@printf "%s\n\n" "make: List of possible targets:"
@grep '^### .*:' $(lastword $(MAKEFILE_LIST)) | sed 's/^### \([^:]*\): \(.*\)/\1:\t\2/' | column -ts "$$(printf '\t')"
### install: Install all files in $PREFIX (used by debian binary package build scripts)
install:
install -D -o root -g root -m 755 ...
...
### release: Increase package version number
release:
debchange --release
(像往常一样,缩进文件必须精确地从一个制表器开始,但stackoverflow不能正确地再现该细节。)
输出如下所示:
$ make
make: List of possible targets:
help: Show help message (default target)
install: Install all files in $PREFIX (used by debian binary package build scripts)
release: Increase package version number
This works because only lines starting with ### and having a : character are considered as the documentation to output. Note that this intentionally does not extract the actual target name but fully trusts the documentation lines only. This allows always emitting correct output for very complex Makefile tricks, too. Also note that this avoids needing to put the documentation line on any specific position relative to actual rule. I also intentionally avoid sorting the output because the order of output can be fully controlled from the Makefile itself simply by listing the documentation lines in preferred order.
显然,您可以发明任何其他您喜欢的语法,甚至可以做一些
### en: install: Install all files in $PREFIX
### fi: asennus: asenna kaikki tiedostot hakemistoon $PREFIX
并且只打印与当前语言环境匹配的行,以支持多种语言,并具有别名来本地化目标名称:
.PHONY: asennus
asennus: install
最重要的问题是为什么要列出目标?您想要实际的文档还是某种调试信息?
这个帮助目标只打印带有##后跟描述的目标。这允许同时记录公共目标和私有目标。使用. default_goal使帮助更容易被发现。
只使用sed, xargs和printf,这是非常常见的。
使用< $(MAKEFILE_LIST)允许将makefile命名为makefile以外的名称,例如makefile .github
您可以在printf中定制输出以满足您的偏好。这个示例的设置是为了匹配OP对rake样式输出的请求
在剪切和粘贴下面的make文件时,不要忘记将4个空格缩进改为制表符。
# vim:ft=make
# Makefile
.DEFAULT_GOAL := help
.PHONY: test help
help: ## these help instructions
@sed -rn 's/^([a-zA-Z_-]+):.*?## (.*)$$/"\1" "\2"/p' < $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | xargs printf "make %-20s# %s\n"
lint: ## style, bug and quality checker
pylint src test
private: # for internal usage only
@true
test: private ## run pytest with coverage
pytest --cov test
下面是上面Makefile的输出。注意,私有目标没有得到输出,因为它的注释只有一个#。
$ make
make help # these help instructions
make lint # style, bug and quality checker
make test # run pytest with coverage
这是对jsp非常有用的回答(https://stackoverflow.com/a/45843594/814145)的修改。我喜欢这个想法,不仅要得到目标的列表,还要得到他们的描述。jsp的Makefile将描述作为注释,我发现在目标的描述echo命令中经常会重复。因此,我从每个目标的echo命令中提取描述。
Makefile示例:
.PHONY: all
all: build
: "same as 'make build'"
.PHONY: build
build:
@echo "Build the project"
.PHONY: clean
clean:
@echo "Clean the project"
.PHONY: help
help:
@echo -n "Common make targets"
@echo ":"
@cat Makefile | sed -n '/^\.PHONY: / h; /\(^\t@*echo\|^\t:\)/ {H; x; /PHONY/ s/.PHONY: \(.*\)\n.*"\(.*\)"/ make \1\t\2/p; d; x}'| sort -k2,2 |expand -t 20
make help输出:
$ make help
Common make targets:
make all same as 'make build'
make build Build the project
make clean Clean the project
make help Common make targets
注:
与jsp的答案相同,只能列出PHONY目标,这可能适用于您的情况,也可能不适用
此外,它只列出那些有echo或:命令作为recipe的第一个命令的PHONY目标。:表示“什么都不做”。我在这里将它用于那些不需要回声的目标,比如上面所有的目标。
帮助目标还有一个额外的技巧,就是在make帮助输出中添加“:”。
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 $(shell ...) then the shell command will still be called and its side effects will happen. In my setup often the side effects of running shell functions is unwanted output to standard error, so I add 2>/dev/null after the make command.
要扩展@jsp给出的答案,甚至可以使用$(eval)函数计算帮助文本中的变量。
下面提议的版本增强了以下属性:
将扫描任何生成文件(甚至包括在内)
是否会在帮助注释中引用扩展活动变量
为真实目标添加文档锚(前缀为# TARGETDOC:)
添加列标头
所以要记录,请使用这种形式:
RANDOM_VARIABLE := this will be expanded in help text
.PHONY: target1 # Target 1 help with $(RANDOM_VARIABLE)
target1: deps
[... target 1 build commands]
# TARGETDOC: $(BUILDDIR)/real-file.txt # real-file.txt help text
$(BUILDDIR)/real-file.txt:
[... $(BUILDDIR)/real-file.txt build commands]
然后,在你的makefile文件的某处:
.PHONY: help # Generate list of targets with descriptions
help:
@# find all help in targets and .PHONY and evaluate the embedded variables
$(eval doc_expanded := $(shell grep -E -h '^(.PHONY:|# TARGETDOC:) .* #' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) | sed -E -n 's/(\.PHONY|# TARGETDOC): (.*) # (.*)/\2 \3\\n/'p | expand -t40))
@echo
@echo ' TARGET HELP' | expand -t40
@echo ' ------ ----' | expand -t40
@echo -e ' $(doc_expanded)'
