Hi…

How would/could I verify that PROJECT_ROOT is properly set?
Could I override the settings of PROJECT_ROOT if I wanted to do so?
Which [discovery?] mechanism does QNX uses to set PROJECT_ROOT
automatically?

Thanks.

Best Regards…

Miguel.

When I need to verify a macro I usually put a:

TMP:=$(PROJECT_ROOT)

in the common.mk and then look at what value TMP has from the
“make -p” output.

Could I override the settings of PROJECT_ROOT if I wanted to do so?

No.

It starts in the current working directory and then goes from parent
directory to parent directory, looking for the “common.mk” file. When
it finds it, that’s PROJECT_ROOT.
