I want to use gnu make to make edits to many files. In each file, I want to
substitute the string:
./
to the string
${MPATH}
There could be several instances of this string on one line in the files.
I can do this in perl with:
perl -i -pe 's|\.\/|\${MPATH}\/|g'
but when I put this into a make target, I can not get the character escaping
right. The shell always ends up interpreting $MPATH as an empty variable.
Is there a good way to do this in gmake?
thanks,
dave
