Hi All,
I'm am having a bit of trouble with a function I have to delete a long
list of files.
Here is the function:
# $(call rm-cmd,FILE_LIST,Chunk Size,rm options)
rm-cmd=$(strip $(eval __a :=)$(foreach w,$1,$(if $(filter $2,$(words
$(__a))),$(shell $(RM) $3 $(strip $(__a)) )$(eval __a:=))$(eval __a
+=$w))$(shell $(RM) $3 $(__a))
and it gets called like this:
.PHONY: cleanest
cleanest:
@echo removing target lib subdirs
$(foreach target,$(VALID_TARGETS),$(call rm-cmd,$(subst
cleanest,$(target),$(subst /,\,$(dir $(libraries)))),50,-v -r))
If i replace $(shell ...) with $(info ...) in the function I can see
that the long list is indeed being broken up into smaller chunks.
So from that perspective it is working. The file and/or folder names
that get passed to the function are also correct.
It just seems as though the $(shell ...) isn't actually doing anything.
This is using gnu-make 3.81 on windows:
C:\>make --version

the archives used to echo a list to a file.
