In makefile, you can define tasks and run them individually (e.g. make run-task1 run-task2 run-task3)
run-task1:
@echo "run task 1"
run-task2:
@echo "run task 2"
run-task3:
@echo "run task 3"
When you want to run tasks from another tasks (e.g. make run-all-tasks), you can
run-all-tasks: run-task1 run-task2 run-task3
- use sub-command line with
$(MAKE)
run-all-tasks:
@$(MAKE) run-task1
@$(MAKE) run-task2
@$(MAKE) run-task3
You can also create a wrapper task to run all tasks with a specific naming.
This will enable you to don't known all task names.
Useful when usingincludemechanism in your makefile.
include makefile-with-run-tasks.mk
run-all-tasks:
@grep -E '^[\.a-zA-Z0-9_%-]+:.*$$' $(MAKEFILE_LIST) \
| cut -d ":" -f2 | grep "^run-task" | sort -u \
| xargs $(MAKE)
So when you run it, the run-all-tasks task will run all run-task tasks.
$ make run-all-tasks
run task 1
run task 2
run task 3
