Hi all... I'm trying to update a build environment that currently uses a perl script that expands certain keywords into specific command line args to GNU Make.. I'm trying to get rid of this script while keeping the same look-n-feel that people are used to.. So, below is what I'd like to be able to do but can't seem to find a way to make it work w/ Make.. Keep in mind that the sample below is simplified in nature and that we've got a handful of these sort of command aliases..
old perl script: % pmake release target=sun --> expanded to the following Make command % make debug=off asserts=off target=sun what I'd like to see Make handle: % make release target=sun Unfortunately, I can't seem to find a way to get Make to convert 'release' into a set of predefined (canned) variables that then control the make operation.. I've tried using 'define' but everything enclosed in the 'define' seems to set my variables when I don't want them set.. I also toyed around with target specific variables too as that seemed close to what I was looking for -- unfortunately, it didn't seem to work for my sample test.. Any ideas on how to go about this? _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
