Re: [Axiom-developer] generalized makefile rules

[David MENTRE]

Hello Tim,

I've not checked (i.e. executed) but I would write:

root <address@hidden> writes:

> ${OUT}/FOO.o: ${MID}/FOO.NRLIB
>       echo making ${OUT}/FOO.o from ${MID}/FOO.NRLIB
>       cp ${MID}/FOO.NRLIB/code.o ${OUT}/FOO.o

${OUT}/%.o: ${MID}/%.NRLIB
      echo making ${OUT}/$*.o from ${MID}/$*.NRLIB
      cp ${MID}/$*.NRLIB/code.o ${OUT}/$*.o


or (shorter version):

${OUT}/%.o: ${MID}/%.NRLIB
      echo making $@ from $<
      cp ${MID}/$*.NRLIB/code.o $@


> ${MID}/FOO.NRLIB: ${MID}/FOO.spad
>       echo making ${MID}/FOO.NRLIB from ${MID}/FOO.spad
>       (cd ${MID} ; echo ')co FOO.spad' | ${INTERPSYS}

${MID}/%.NRLIB: ${MID}/%.spad
      echo making ${MID}/$*.NRLIB from ${MID}/$*.spad
      (cd ${MID} ; echo ")co $*.spad" | ${INTERPSYS}

Note: Beware of quotes, I've changed above ' by ".

Or shorter version:

${MID}/%.NRLIB: ${MID}/%.spad
      echo making $@ from $<
      (cd ${MID} ; echo ")co $*.spad" | ${INTERPSYS}
