Hi, Is the following possible with GNU Make?
I want to create a rule that states that any target <name>.xxx depends on <name> uppercased. In code, something along the lines of: %.xxx : uppercase(%) I know it's possible to do operations like this on variables, for example: "UPPERCASED_VAR = $(shell echo $(VAR) | tr a-z A-Z)", but it seems it's not for patterns. To give you a more concrete example: I have some documents named "README", "NEWS", etc. and I want to make general targets for "readme.pdf", "news.pdf" that each depend on the respective file without having to list them explicitly. If it's not immediately possible, is there any way to "emulate" this behavior? -- Gustav Broberg _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
