Hi,
we have the following project structure and a file foo.ts:
project/
+--src/foo.ts
|
|
+--utils/PROG2
The goal is
1) to translate foo.ts to foo.qm (with an external program, say PROG1)
2) to create a header file from the created foo.qm
(with another helper script PROG2)
We tried to accomplish the task first with the following rules
in Makefile.am of src-directory :
%.qm: %.ts
$(PROG1) $<
foo.h: foo.qm
$(top_srcdir)/utils/PROG2 < $< > $@
The problem was that foo.qm was created in project/src
directory and PROG2 could not find the created foo.qm if
the build directory was not src directory.
What I want to say is: When someone created a separate build directory,
say
project/
+--src/foo.ts
|
|
+--utils/PROG2
|
|
+--BUILDDIR
and called "../configure" there
it did not work, because PROG1 created
project/
+--src/foo.ts
foo.qm
PROG2 expected foo.qm now in BUILDDIR/src and not under project/src/.
(surprisingly it worked when I started make a second time ?!)
I change the rule now to:
%.qm: %.ts
$(PROG1) $< -qm $@
Now foo.qm is created in BUILDDIR/src and utils/PROG2 has no problem.
It works but I don't know if it is a good solution.
