Makefile Macros

Specifying a Makefile

Makefile macros let you refer conveniently to files or command options that appear more than once in the description file by allowing simple string substitutions.

The macro is in the form NAME=string, where NAME is a macro name you choose and string is the macro value (what the macro actually represents). Some examples of makefile macros are:

TARGET_DIR=/product/install

DEBUG_LEVEL=3

RELEASE=Beta

CCFLAGS=-g

The following tasks are available through the Make Macros Dialog Box:

• Changing a Macro Value
• Adding a Macro
• Deleting a Macro
