* perf tools: Reorganize the Makefile feature testsArnaldo Carvalho de Melo2010-06-091-0/+119
Moving the tests to a separate file, feature-tests.mak and using a try-cc function similar to the try-run in Kbuild. This also makes the output more quiet as we can stop using the INTERMEDIATE target to remove the .perf.dev.null file needed for some gcc versions where /dev/null can't be used as the output file name. As the tests get shorter by uninlining the source code used to test for features, we can more properly use identation. The feature tests itself can be made more clear and reused, like when trying to see what is needed to have bfd_demangle. We also get a bit closer to reusing scripts/Kbuild.include, reducing the distance from the kernel build system. Tests performed: [root@emilia perf]# make -j9 O=/tmp/perf PERF_VERSION = 0.0.2.PERF GEN /tmp/perf/common-cmds.h * new build flags or prefix GEN perf-archive CC /tmp/perf/builtin-annotate.o CC /tmp/perf/bench/sched-messaging.o CC /tmp/perf/builtin-diff.o <SNIP> CC /tmp/perf/scripts/python/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o CC /tmp/perf/perf.o CC /tmp/perf/builtin-help.o AR /tmp/perf/libperf.a LINK /tmp/perf/perf [root@emilia perf]# If we uninstall, for instance newt-devel we get: [root@emilia perf]# rpm -e newt-devel [root@emilia perf]# make -j9 O=/tmp/perf Makefile:564: newt not found, disables TUI support.
