Makefile generic pattern rule -- xyzzy-en_US.ext2 from xyzzy.ext0
- by Janne Savukoski
I can't figure out a way to define a generic pattern rule for the following kind of production with make:
require xyzzy-en_US.ext2 from xyzzy.ext0 via xyzzy.ext1.
This works:
all: xyzzy-en_US.ext2
# to be compiled from xyzzy.ext0
%.ext1 : %.ext0
# produce xyzzy.ext1
%-en_US.ext2 : %.ext1
# produce xyzzy-en_US.ext2
But how to generalize the locale part of the second rule? Or do I need to generate rules for all different locales?
Neither of these work:
%-??_??.ext2 : %.ext1
# ...
%.ext2 : $(@,%-??_??.ext2,%.ext1)
# ...
