I have the need to use two percent signs in a single prerequisite in a static
rule, and make 3.79 (OS X) doesn't seem to let me do it. I would ideally
like to loop over a bunch of names and have total textual reign in
substituting that name wherever I want in the rule, but I'm not sure how to
do this. See below for an example of what I'm trying to do.
Of lesser importance (because I have a workaround), I would also like the
command to be able to refer to prerequisites by position (i.e. refer to the
second prerequisite), but it doesn't look like there is a direct way to do
this. I can't use $(word ...) because one of the prerequisites may contain
spaces. In general, I guess using filenames with spaces in them is asking
for trouble.
Thanks,
Kevin
P.S. Here's what I tried first:
DATA_DIR = /Volumes/4D\ DB\ HD/COMPdbTest/Data/export
# many tables
TABLES = agp_clones \
assemblies \
bandimagemap
TARGETS = $(foreach TABLE, $(TABLES), $(TABLE)_rebuild.sh)
all: $(TARGETS)
# %_rebuild.sh is created by tdf_to_sql
$(TARGETS): %_rebuild.sh: %.tdf $(DATA_DIR)/%/%.export
echo tdf_to_sql --postgres --schema=original --datafile=$^
