2013-03-20cgit.mk: don't rebuild everything if CGIT_VERSION changesJohn Keeping
If CGIT_VERSION is in CGIT_CFLAGS then a change in version (for example because you have committed your changes) causes all of the CGit objects to be rebuilt. Avoid this by using EXTRA_CPPFLAGS to add the version for only those files that are affected and make them depend on VERSION. Signed-off-by: John Keeping <john@keeping.me.uk>
2013-03-20Makefile: re-use Git's Makefile where possibleJohn Keeping
Git does quite a lot of platform-specific detection in its Makefile, which can result in it defining preprocessor variables that are used in its header files. If CGit does not define the same variables it can result in different sizes of some structures in different places in the same application. For example, on Solaris Git uses it's "compat" regex library which has a different sized regex_t structure than that available in the platform regex.h. This has a knock-on effect on the size of "struct rev_info" and leads to hard to diagnose runtime issues. In order to avoid all of this, introduce a "cgit.mk" file that includes Git's Makefile and make all of the existing logic apply to CGit's objects as well. This is slightly complicated because Git's Makefile must run in Git's directory, so all references to CGit files need to be prefixed with "../". In addition, OBJECTS is a simply expanded variable in Git's Makefile so we cannot just add our objects to it. Instead we must copy the two applicable rules into "cgit.mk". This has the advantage that we can split CGit-specific CFLAGS from Git's CFLAGS and hence avoid rebuilding all of Git whenever a CGit-specific value changes.
