Many of the common variables used throughout JDK are defined in the
common and shared Makefiles, and then included in the various leaf and
middle makefiles. I'd start by looking at those first. Another tip,
many of the common Makefiles include other common Makefiles, so if one
you need isn't listed, it's very possible that it's referenced by
another one that is. It can take a while to unravel what's included
just by including one top level Makefile.

This is hopefully an easy question for JDK libraries build experts.
I want to pass along a new make variable/value to all sub-makes during
the JDK build. Currently each Makefile is edited to pass it to all
subdirectories. I have to make this change in every Makefile in every
non-leaf directory:
all optimized debug clean clobber ::
@for i in $(SUBDIRS) ; do \
$(ECHO) ">>>Recursively making "$$i" "$@" @ `$(DATE)` ..."; \
$(CD) $$i; $(MAKE) $@ RELEASE=$(RELEASE) FULL_VERSION=$(FULL_VERSION) \
+ NEW_VAR=$(NEW_VAR) \
|| exit 1; $(CD) ..; \
$(ECHO) "<<<Finished Recursively making "$$i" "$@" @ `$(DATE)`." ;
done
Is there an easier way that doesn't touch so many Makefiles?
Is there perhaps a Makefile that gets generated during the build and
included everywhere? Or a way to use MFLAGS/MAKEFLAGS to pass it along?
Any tips are appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
