package_version := $(version)x0d$(date)
what is the x0d part between version and date vars? is it just string?
What $(dotin_files:.in=) does below
code
dotin_files := $(shell find . -type f -name \*.in)
dotin_files := $(dotin_files:.in=)
what this means $(dotin_files:=.in)
code
$(dotin_files): $(dotin_files:=.in)
$(substitute)
[email protected] > $@
can target contain multiple files?
what is the meaning of declaring target variable as PHONY?
code
.PHONY: $(dotin_files)
In the regex replacement code below
code
substitute := perl -p -e 's/@([^@]+)@/defined $$ENV{$$1} ? $$ENV{$$1} : $$&/ge'
what are $$ENV{$$1} and $$&? I guess it'
s Perl scope...
thanks for your time
