Re: Automake 1.7.2 & using implicit rules

[Sander Niemeijer]

Hi,

I have some problems understanding what will be created from a  
source.src file by filemaker (I myself am not familiar with this  
application).
You can use suffix rules but these only work when the filename bit  
without the suffix part is the same for both the source and target  
files. This means that if you have something like:
---
SUFFIXES = .src
.c.src:
        filemaker $<
bin_PROGRAMS = foo
foo_SOURCES = foo.src
---
automake will expect filemaker to create a foo.c.
So my question back to you is: what exactly is created from a foo.src  
file (all three .cpp, .c, and .lxx files or only one of them) and what  
will be the exact file names for the generated files (foo.cpp, foo.c,  
and foo.lxx or different)?


Regards,
Sander
