Hey list, My make install target for my autotool'd project's translations directory has a number of prerequisites. The one which seems to be causing trouble is the install-data-yes target. Yes, I am aware the path I am using contains spaces and yes I am aware that makefiles can choke on it if not properly dealt with (e.g. escaped). From the final generated Makefile...
install-data-yes: all
@catalogs='$(CATALOGS)'; \
for cat in $$catalogs; do \
cat=`basename $$cat`; \
lang=`echo $$cat | sed -e 's/\.gmo$$//'`; \
dir=$(localedir)/$$lang/LC_MESSAGES; \
$(mkdir_p) $(DESTDIR)$$dir; \
The second to last line seems to be causing problems.
$ pwd
~/Projects/Avaneya/Extras/Viking Lander Remastered/Extractor/Translations
$ make install --debug
Must remake target `install-data-yes'.
/bin/sh: 5: Lander: not found
/bin/mkdir: missing operand
Try '/bin/mkdir --help' for more information.
/usr/bin/install: cannot create regular file
‘/viking-extractor.mo’: Permission denied
The project's Makefile.am is here:
<https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~avaneya/avaneya/trunk/view/head:/Extras/Viking%20Lander%20Remastered/Extractor/Makefile.am>
Any help appreciated on solving the spaces in path problem. Just assume
that renaming the directory is not an option at this point.
