temporary files

[Andreas Hagele]

Hello 'Makers',

 

I'm using make 3.79 and I would like to create a linker response file from make in a more efficient way then with the does echo command.

 

currently i have something like

 

link.cmd: $(MF)
 echo -pnvram=bss,heap >> $@
 echo -o$(TARGET).obj >> $@
 echo -N >> $@
 echo -B165C00E6 >> $@
 echo rt51--ns.obj >> $@
 echo main.obj \>> $@
 echo turnover.obj \>> $@
 echo disp_lcd.obj \>> $@
 echo lcd.obj \>> $@
 echo meter.obj \>> $@
etc

 

which works fine but the echo command are sooooo slow. I tried the @ to supress the output but that doesn't help.

 

The Borland make has some command like

 

prog.exe: A.obj B.obj

 

    TLINK32 /c @&&|     # &&| opens temp file, @ for TLINK32
    c0s.obj $**
    prog.exe
    prog.map
    maths.lib cs.lib

 

|                       # | closes temp file, must be on first column

 

with the &&| to create a temp file. That's much faster

 

Is there something like this in GNU make?

 

Thanks a lot
