Hello,
pattern rules are forbidden by automake, but I have the following problem.
My source files have the form *.someext.nw and I have two rules to
generate two files from that. (Its a literate noweb file and one
generates a code file and a .tex file from it.)
I'd like to have the rules
%.nw.tex: %.nw
noweave $< > $@
%.someext: %.someext.nw
notangle $< > $@
I cannot think of anything reasonable to transform that into suffix
rules. Do you have some hints.
Ralf
PS:
Interestingly, I have
AC_CONFIG_FILES([Makefile:Makefile.in:literate.mk])
in my configure.ac and Automake doesn't complain if I put pattern rules
inside literate.mk. Is this a bug or a feature?
