GNU Info (autoconf.info)Transformation RulesTransformation Rules -------------------- Here is how to use the variable `program_transform_name' in a `Makefile.in': PROGRAMS = cp ls rm transform = @program_transform_name@ install: for p in $(PROGRAMS); do \ $(INSTALL_PROGRAM) $$p $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/`echo $$p | \ sed '$(transform)'`; \ done uninstall: for p in $(PROGRAMS); do \ rm -f $(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/`echo $$p | sed '$(transform)'`; \ done It is guaranteed that `program_transform_name' is never empty, and that there are no useless separators. Therefore you may safely embed `program_transform_name' within a sed program using `;': transform = @program_transform_name@ transform_exe = s/$(EXEEXT)$$//;$(transform);s/$$/$(EXEEXT)/ Whether to do the transformations on documentation files (Texinfo or `man') is a tricky question; there seems to be no perfect answer, due to the several reasons for name transforming. Documentation is not usually particular to a specific architecture, and Texinfo files do not conflict with system documentation. But they might conflict with earlier versions of the same files, and `man' pages sometimes do conflict with system documentation. As a compromise, it is probably best to do name transformations on `man' pages but not on Texinfo manuals. automatically generated by info2www version 1.2.2.9 |
