make and addprefix

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,

I've got this weird problem using the addprefix function in GNU make.  The
documentation makes it seem simple enough:

$(addprefix prefix,names...)

But when I try to do it, it always returns nothing.
For example, I have a file list declared as follows:
****************************************
FileList := one.ob3 \ 
            two.ob3 \
            three.ob3 \

Then when I do get to my target
runTarget :
    %exec echo $(FileList)
#This works fine and the first line is as expected.
#Now I try to add a prefix
    %exec echo $(addprefix Pre, $(FileList) )
#it prints an empty line.
****************************************
Any ideas?
Or can anyone think of another easy way to prefix a list of files separated by
white space?

BTW...my previous problem was caused by the fact that compl was a c++ keyword
Thanks Eljay
