I'd like to do what I think should be very simple, but I can't find any
examples of what I'm trying to do. I have a variable in a make file that has
a bunch of directory names in it, and I'd like to perform multiple actions
on those directory names, namely by "looping" over the list. The "foreach"
construct was what I went to initially, and might be the right goods, but I
can't figure out the right syntax.
Here's a Perl variant of what I'm trying to do:
@myDirs = ("alpha", "bravo", "charlie", "delta", "foxtrot");
foreach(@myDirs)
{
# Do some shell related stuff (copy files, move files, chmod, etc)
}
How can I do that in a Makefile? Suppose my variable looks like the
following:
DIRS = alpha bravo charlie delta foxtrot
All I want to do is "loop" over that list, performing some shell operations
(or issuing other commands) on those directories. Is there a simple way to
do that?
Thanks in advance!
Jonah
