hi I am writing a Makefile to convert a bdf file into different pcf files corresponding to different unicode ranges, the striped down version of my Makefile looks like the following
B2P=bdftopcf SLICE=bdfmerge.pl CJKBASIC=0x4E00--0x9FA5 CJKEXTA=0x3400--0x4DB5 CJK1=0x1100--0x11FF 0x2460--0x24EA CJK2=0x2605--0x2606 0x262F--0x2637 CJK3=0x3105--0x312C 0x3131--0x318E RANGE=$(CJKBASIC) $(CJKEXTA) $(CJK1) $(CJK2) $(CJK3) cjk0: RANGE=$(CJKBASIC) cjka: RANGE=$(CJKEXTA) cjk: $(SLICE) $(SLICE) $(RANGE) $(R9).bdf > $(R9)_cjk.bdf $(SLICE) $(RANGE) $(R10).bdf > $(R10)_cjk.bdf $(SLICE) $(RANGE) $(R11).bdf > $(R11)_cjk.bdf $(B2P) $(R9)_cjk.bdf > $(R9).pcf $(B2P) $(R10)_cjk.bdf > $(R10).pcf $(B2P) $(R11)_cjk.bdf > $(R11).pcf (the above code snip does not work, as you may notice) what I want to do is when user make different targets, I want the variable RANGE to change its value correspondingly. However, I don't want to repeat the command block for each target. I believe there must be an elegant way of doing this, i.e. set variables differently for each target and execute a common set of commands. However, I can not find it after an hour of search, so I hope someone can help me up. thank you Qianqian _______________________________________________ help-gnu-utils mailing list help-gnu-utils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-utils
