I need something like associative arrays in my makefiles recipes.
Supposing I have a bunch of vars like
DIR_i386=/somedir
DIR_sparc64=/someotherdir
In shell, I'd do
target:
cp somefile `eval echo \\$DIR_$ARCH`
But since $(eval) does not return anything, I can't seem to find a
way to do the same in GNU make. In particular,
target:
$(eval<tab>cp somefile $$(DIR_$(ARCH)))
gives me a "missing separator" error as the <tab> is swallowed by
the parser.
Any help would be appreciated.
