Hi all,
I've added a function (A make function) named contract-path to the 3.80 sources.
It takes a path with garbage like 'dir/..' or 'dir1//2/' or 'dir/./dir2' and
contracts it as much as possible, e.g.:
a/b/.. ==> a
a/./. ==> a
a\b\\c/d ==> a/b/c/d
You can do this with a suitably recent beta of GNUmake (e.g. 3.81beta3).
GNUmakefile:
path1 = a/b/../
path2 = a/./.
path3 = a\b\\c/d # backslashes as path separators makes my skin crawl...
all: ; @echo path1=$(subst $(CURDIR)/,,$(abspath $(path1))); \
echo path2=$(subst $(CURDIR)/,,$(abspath $(path2))); \
echo path3=$(subst $(CURDIR)/,,$(abspath $(subst \,/,$(path3))));
$ gmake
path1=a
path2=a
path3=a/b/c/d
