Makefile

#This is a simple wrapper hiding cmake from non-expert end users.
#
# It supports the targets:
#   'make'           - builds everything (all libaries/executables)
#   'make clean'     - removes generated build objects/libraries/executables etc.
#   'make distclean' - will clean everything including the cmake generated build files
#
# All other targets (e.g. 'make vpr') are passed to the cmake generated makefile
# and processed according to the CMakeLists.txt.
#
# To perform a debug build use:
#   'make BUILD_TYPE=debug'

#Default build type
# Possible values:
#    release
#    debug
BUILD_TYPE = release

#Allows users to pass parameters to cmake
#  e.g. make CMAKE_PARAMS="-DVTR_ENABLE_SANITIZE=true"
override CMAKE_PARAMS := -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=$(BUILD_TYPE) -G 'Unix Makefiles' ${CMAKE_PARAMS}


# -s : Suppresss makefile output (e.g. entering/leaving directories)
# --output-sync target : For parallel compilation ensure output for each target is synchronized (make version >= 4.0)
