Makefile, multistage builds? about kpng HOT 3 CLOSED

in general , targets would be
make test -> run all the unit tests
make docker -> builds a docker image of kpng
make up -> runs the full kpng-local-up.sh
make static -> compiles kpng executable binaries

as a starting point, looking at how we do hack/kpng-local-up and decomposing those parts into separate make tasks might be a good way to get started here

from kpng.

Since there will be very few dependencides (or none at all), "make" is not the tool. A script is easier to maintain. The only reason to use make is that many people expects it. A reason as good as any but large scripts-in-a-makefile looks bad (to put it nicely). I would suggest a "build" script or a "build/" directory with some scripts and a Makefile that just calls them, like;

.PHONY: test docker up static
test docker up static:
        ./build/$@

I think we can close this
