Parameter for rule in Makefile
Make itself doesn't provide passing arguments like for scripts. Usually make is used in the following way: you configure project than run just simple 'make'. Configuring can be done by running shell script 'configure'. This script is the one that you can pass parameters to. For example:
./configure param1 param2make runconfigure script must parse parameters and write them out to config.mk. config.mk must contain the following:
PARAM1 = val1PARAM2 = val2Your Makefile must include config.mk:
TOP = .include $(TOP)/config.mkrun: make compile ./scripts/runTrips $(PARAM1) $(PARAM2) $(PLACES) $(OUT) $(VERS)In your 'configure' script you can also check parameters for correctness and make other checks and calculations.
