I'm working on a small library that uses a very simple makefile (no autoconf, etc.) and it sets the library name and soname within the makefile. Instead of hard coding it in the spec file I would like to extract the library name and soname from the makefile. I tried "grep soname Makefile | awk..." type approach which works for the soname but the library name is generated from the soname with a variable and I haven't found a way to get an "evaluated" version of the makefile. I was hoping something like "make -p ..." would work but it doesn't evaluated the variables, which seems useless since if I just wanted the raw output 'cat' would work. One method I've found (but not tried) would be to use sed to insert an "export" in front of the two assignments so I can use the environment variables. Any ideas?
