Preventing duplication

To prevent duplication in each makefile, and to allow more flexibility, CreateMake includes Universal.Make in every generated makefile (*.Make).

Universal.Make contains global targets and rules. Some of the familiar global targets are: Includes, Objects, Exports, and Binaries. Other targets are useful because they are applied only to the projects in the build and not to every directory in the hierarchy. These targets will not be applied to those projects.:

Other global targets Global target Task
clean Removes all .o and .e, files and libraries that were built.
complete Expands into the standard targets: Includes, Objects, Exports, and Binaries.
makefiles Allows you to traverse the directory and rebuild makefiles as needed.

NOTE The includes, objects, exports, binaries, and clean targets have lowercase synonyms, so capitalization is not required.
