   8  *
   9  *  \section Sec_BuildSystem_Overview Overview of the LUFA Build System
  10  *  The LUFA build system was originally an attempt at making a set of
  11  *  re-usable, modular build make files which could be referenced in a LUFA
  12  *  powered project, to minimize the amount of code required in an
  13  *  application makefile.
  14  *
  15  *  As it turned out to be fairly generic in nature, it was split out into its
  16  *  own separate project, called DMBS (<i>Dean's Makefile Build System</i>)
  17  *  which is released into the public domain. LUFA-specific portions of the
  18  *  LUFA build system extend DMBS, and provide a universal build system for all
  19  *  LUFA projects.
  20  *
  21  *  The latest DMBS project information and documentation can be found at:
  22  *  https://github.com/abcminiuser/dmbs
  23  *
  24  *  DMBS is written in GNU Make, and each module is independent of one-another.
  25  *
  26  *  LUFA now uses DMBS for its build system, with some LUFA specific extension
  27  *  modules.
  28  *
  29  *  If you have problems building using LUFA, see \subpage Page_BuildTroubleshooting for resolution steps.

  35 /** \page Page_BuildModule_LUFA_SOURCES LUFA SOURCES extension module for DMBS
  36  *
  37  *  The LUFA SOURCES extension more for DMBS provides LUFA specific variables
  38  *  listing the various LUFA source files required to be build by a project for
  39  *  a given LUFA module. This module gives a way to reference LUFA source files
  40  *  symbolically, so that changes to the library structure do not break the
  41  *  library makefile.

  43  *  To use this module in your application makefile, add the following code:

 177  *
 178  *  LUFA uses a lot of advanced features of the AVR-GCC compiler, linker, and
 179  *  surrounding binaries. This can sometimes lead to problems compiling
 180  *  applications if one of these features is buggy in the version of the tools
 181  *  used in a build environment. Missing utilities and incorrectly set makefile
 182  *  configuration options can also result in different errors being produced
