The target util convert.system is to be used in conjunction with GEOS on the Apple II but has to be built as an "ordinary" Apple II program. The way the cc65 library build system is designed there's no way to define dependencies between targets. The solution used so far was to explicitly trigger a build of the target 'apple2enh' from the target 'geos-apple'. However, that approach tends to break parallel builds which may be in the middle of building 'appple2enh' at the time it is triggered by 'geos-apple'.
There might be ways to get this fixed - but the the cc65 library build systrem is already (more than) complex enough, so I really don't want to add anything special to it.
On the other hand there are easier ways (outside the scope of cc65) to archive what convert.system does so I don't presume convert.system to be actually used - it's more a reference type of thing.
Putting all facts together the decision was easy: Just move convert.system from the target it is used with to the target(s) it is built with.
Building the clean target in src or libsrc should only delete stuff created by the make in those directories. Having both separated allows the Travis CI build to replace the native binaries with cross built binaries while keeping everything else.
Originally I used the usual variables (like $(CC) and $(CFLAGS) ) but after
all this doesn't make sense as any predefined values and/or user defined
settings can only be wrong.
- No complex shell logic.
- "Source file shadowing" for all targets via vpath.
- Dependency handling.
- True incremental build.
- Don't write into source directories.
- Easy cleanup by just removing 'wrk'.
However now I understand that CBM GEOS does _not_ use PETSCII so the CBM character specification table doesn't make sense at all. After all this is very plausible because GEOS wants to enable the user to share his files across GEOS variants - so we can share the character specification table too.
