Hey list,
I am attempting to set a variable in my Makefile.am that contains a
normalized absolute path. I am doing this because another application
invoked through one of my rules breaks when fed a relative path and it
needs it.
PATH_WORKAROUND=$(realpath abs_top_builddir)/Tests/some_file.foo
I have tried the above and too many syntactical variations, but automake
complains about all of them when I try to achieve the intention of the
above.
Respectfully,
I guess Automake is just complaining about GNU make specific
constructs ('$(replapth ...)' in this case) that would cause
other make implementations to choke. You might need to add
"AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = -Wno-portability" to the Makefile(s) using
such constructs (I assume you are OK with mandating the use of
GNU make to build your package).
HTH,
Stefano
