Description Robert Yang 2012-05-03 07:59:32 UTC 
remake is a patched version of GNU Make that adds improved error reporting, the ability to trace execution in a comprehensible way, and a debugger.

I think that we may add and use it to replace the host's make which we currently use, which would make the debug of building error easier.

Comment 1 Wenzong.Fan 2012-07-19 06:58:50 UTC 
remake is not found from oe upstream, just add it form original source.

Source code at: 
    git://github.com/rocky/remake.git

Recipes/patches will be put to: 
    meta/recipes-devtools/remake/

Except for basic recipe infos, also add following:
  PROVIDES += "make"

  inherit update-alternatives

  ALTERNATIVE_${PN} = "make"
  ALTERNATIVE_LINK_NAME[make] = "${bindir}/make"
  ALTERNATIVE_TARGET[make] = "${bindir}/remake"
  ALTERNATIVE_PRIORITY = "100"
