Another quick question. Does anyone know a way in GNU Make to filter off
the first instance only of a given string.
For example, at the moment I'm doing
$(subst lib,,libfoo.a)
which gives me "foo.a". However if I do :
$(subst lib,,libbarlib.a)
this also gives me "bar.a" even though what I need is "barlib.a".
Use patsubst: $(patsubst lib%,%,libbarlib.a) will give the result you
are looking for.
Thanks everyone, that did exactly what I needed.
