Hello,
I was reading (http://llvm.org/docs/Projects.html) which mentions the use of
ExtraSource as a variable that can be set in project Makefiles to handle
code that is generated. I couldn't get this to work, and grepping through
all the Makefile.*s in all the directories I couldn't find any mention of
"ExtraSource" except for in the Makefile.common (where it is in a
comment):
# 4. Source - If specified, this sets the source code filenames. If this
# is not set, it defaults to be all of the .cpp, .c, .y, and .l files
# in the current directory. Also, if you want to build files in addition
# to the local files, you can use the ExtraSource variable
Is this a bug or has the documentation simply not been updated? Is there a
new way to do it?
On a slightly related note, I tend to like to put generated files in
subdirectories (maybe this is a bad thing?) to keep them from cluttering the
code that I'm working on. This breaks the default LLVM makefiles because it
compiles foo/bar.c to Debug+Asserts/foo/bar.o and the foo directory doesn't
exist in Debug+Asserts.
I'm pretty bad with Makefiles, but the attached patch seems to fix both
problems, though possibly not in the most elegant way.
