I know next to nothing about how Auto* is (supposed to be) working, but
I've seen lots of sed commands in
If @U@ is doing a variable substitution, then it'll expand to something
_before_ o
(if @U@ -> bar, then this will result in a dependency involving .baro)
(looking through configure)
Wget's configure contains this towards the end:
s%@U@%$U%g
U seems to be related to ansi2knr:
if(can use prototypes)
U= ANSI2KNR=
else
U=_ ANSI2KNR=./ansi2knr
endif
This will result in dependencies written as ._o if ansi2knr was run over
the sources.
This forces me to conclude that using @U@ _CAN_NOT_ and _WILL_NOT_ change
.o to .obj
I think .@U@o might need to be replaced with .@U@@objext@ (if there is such
a beast, in analogy with @exeext@)
