[julia-users] Run gcc in build.jl

[David P. Sanders]

Hi,

I am almost ready to release a simple wrapper of the CRlibm library: see
https://github.com/dpsanders/CRlibm.jl

The last (?) step I need is to get the gcc command in the below build 
script in deps/build.jl to work.
Could somone please suggest how to do this? The problem is that *.o is not 
expanded in Julia commands
(maybe this could be added?)

I found a previous discussion at
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/julia-users/hzBeluKU7P0

I tried the solutions suggested, but the ones involving Julia code don't 
seem
to work inside the @build_steps macro, and the one using find, implemented 
as

 `gcc -L. -shared -o libcrlibm.dylib $(find . -d 1 -name *.o)`

gives 
ERROR: ParseError("missing separator in tuple")

Thanks,
David

Extract from script:

provides(SimpleBuild,
    (@build_steps begin
        GetSources(libcrlibm)

        @build_steps begin
            ChangeDirectory(srcdir)
            @build_steps begin
                `./configure CFLAGS=-fpic`
                `make`

                `gcc -L. -shared -o libcrlibm.dylib *.o`
            end
        end
    end),
    libcrlibm, os = :Unix
)

(How is one supposed to include code here??)
