Hi,
I want to place a rule in several Makefiles. So I thought about putting
@DESKTOP_DATA_RULE@
into every Makefile.am and define the rule via configure.ac. However, I
can't get it to work. The rule is:
$(desktop_DATA): $(desktop_in_files:.desktop.in=.desktop)
@list='$<'; for p in $$list; do \
if test -f "$$p" ; then \
f=`echo "$$p" | sed 's/.desktop$$//;$(transform);s/$$/.desktop/'`; \
if ! test -f "$$f" ; then \
$(LN_S) "$$p" "$$f" ; \
echo "$(LN_S) '$$p' '$$f'" ; \
fi ; \
fi ; \
done
How can I connect this with AC_SUBST? I get errors and warnings with
everything I do. So how do I have to quote/escape the rule/characters in
the rule to get the desired result? Is there maybe some m4 macro to get
a "verbatim" output?
Thanks and regards, Daniel
Daniel,
Unless this rule is dynamically calculated by configure, you might be
better off putting it into a file and simply including it from several
other makefiles.
