Can anyone help me with what I'm hoping is a fairly straightforward problem:
I need to copy png files from a source directory location to an
out-of-directory build location, e.g.
src/images/image.png
to
build/images/image.png
but can't figure out how to create a make rule to do this. The background is
I'm doing docbook building and need the images to be in the location expected
by the docbook files to generate pdf output - obviously it works
in-source-directory building but not out of dir.
So far, all my attempts to write a make rule that simply copies the images from
source directory to build directory have failed. I am currently hacking around
it by naming all my images with a .docpng prefix and defining a build rule, but
this is not really acceptable from a scaling standpoint as large numbers of
images may need to be added, edited and maintained in the future.
Can anybody suggest a good solid way to do this with make?
Thanks,
CY
