Additional source directories

[moonshadow565]

How about variable for additional source directory?

[ladislas]

You mean like the USER_LIB_PATH?

[moonshadow565]

No i mean like i put my main code in subfolder of Makefile
something like SOURCE
not additional libraries
its not realy hard i can make modifications myself but would like it to be mainstream

[ladislas]

I don't understand. Could you show an exemple of what you mean?

[sej7278]

i guess this is a duplicate of #267 ?

[moonshadow565]

Yeah it is but it's trivial matter to implement this stuff :P
i don't like having 2 makefiles because its messy and also its buggy because i can't include 1 to another since current directory is still the same so i need to call make from makefile and you can see why i don't like it

I've got the same problem. My structure looks like this:

- main.c
- state.h
- state.c
- decode
  - decode_0.h
  - decode_0.c
  - decode_1.h
  - decode_1.c

(mostly made-up names)

Arduino-Makefile just does LOCAL_C_SRCS ?= $(wildcard *.c). So the files in the subdirectory decode are not compiled.

I'd suggest a new variable LOCAL_SRC_DIRS which contains a list of directory to load source files from. Initially it would only contain ., which mimics the current behavior. Is this something you'd like to see? If yes, just tell me and I'll prepare a PR.

Is this what you wanted @moonshadow565?

[luto]

Oh, #252. I'll have a look at this.

[moonshadow565]

@luto yeah thats what i meant

[sej7278]

rather than yet another variable which the user has to set, i'd rather a recursive search for files in all subdirectories of the sketch's directory (but not a separate python script) like the spark core firmware works.

I would like to see this too.
Though I am more inclined to want to specify the source directories in the Makefile.
As I often have project trees that build multiple ways - including building a windows or X11 simulator and I do NOT want that code getting sucked into Arduino Builds.
As an example I might have:
Lock:
-Makefile
-lock.cpp
-GFX
--GFX.cpp
--LCD
---QDT
----lcd.cpp
---X11
----lcd.cpp

Where I have an x86 Makefile in the lock/GFX/LCD/X11 directory to build an X11 simulator for my project
But Lock/Makefile builds the arduino code
