Hi,
I am using the follwoing makefile. What the makefile is trying to do is to
read the contents from the 2nd line of the
file filename.dat. The file basically contains a list of file objects. The
install target is trying to move the
files to the install directory. I am having a problem when the file
filename.dat is empty. SRC_FILES macro now
becomes null and the install target is failing for the cp command.
Could you pls tell me if there is any fix for this. I cannot add any dummy
entry in the file filename.dat.
Thank you,
Ravi Malayambakkam.
FILELIST = filename.dat
FILES = tail +2 $(FILELIST)
all install install_MtrxDDL get_files := SRC_FILES = $(FILES:sh)
install: install_target1
install_target1: $(SRC_FILES)
$(INS) -d -o $(OWNER) -g $(GROUP) -m 755 $$i $(INSDIR)/target1/
for i in $(SRC_FILES) ; \
do \
echo "Installing $$i"; \
cp -p $$i $(INSDIR)/target1 \; ; \
chmod 644 $(INSDIR)/target1/$$i; \
done
