Hi,
I have a makefile which generates a tcl file when a certain target is made:
DO_SIM:
[many echo commands] >> sim.tcl
for option in $(OPTIONS); do \
echo -n "$(if $(findstring =,$$option),$$option,$$option=) " >>
sim.tcl; \
done;
[more echo command] >> sim.tcl
my problem is with the for loop shown. OPTIONS variable has various fields in
it. Some fields have a '=' in them ie. FOO=512 and some don't. Because I have a
broken tool which gets confused by variables which don't have an equal sign in
them I am trying to go through them and convert "FOO=512 BAR" into "FOO=512
BAR=". The trouble is that the findstring never finds anything and I get
"FOO=512= BAR=". When I replace the whole findstring command with 1, I get the
then case of the 'if' but no amount trial made findstring work. Any ideas what
my problem is or how to do what I need differently?
Thanks.
By the way, I am running make under cygwin and my make version is 4.0.2 if that
makes a difference.
