[Buildroot] Is there an include statement in buildroot ?

[Stefan Fröberg]

Hello everyone

My package .mk file is getting quite large now and I would like to break
it to more easily
sizeable and logical chunks.

Is there a way to include other .mk files in main .mk file ?

Like something like this:

package/newpackage/A.mk
package/newpackage/C.mk
package/newpackage/D.mk
etc....
package/newpackage/newpackage.mk

And newpackage.mk would have:

include "A.mk"
include "B.mk"
include "C.mk"

etc....

Actually, you don't need to explicitly include .mk files, this is
automatically handled in the Makefile at the root of BR.
To convince yourself ;-) :
grep -nE 'include .*?mk' Makefile

However, if you there is a specific order for the inclusion, you can do:
package/newpackage/A.mk.in
package/newpackage/B.mk.in
...

Then, in the newpackage.mk:
include A.mk.in
include B.mk.in
...

Or just:
include ./*.mk.in

I put the following in newpackage.mk :

include package/newpackage/A.mk.in
include package/newpackage/B.mk.in
etc...

And Oh My God, it worked!
All the variables and other stuff from those files
were now visible in main newpackage.mk!

Thanks Samuel ! :)
