Hi there,
In Ubuntu's installer (ubiquity), we want to generate KeyboardNames.pl.
We do so in approximately this way:
$ make -C d-i/source/console-setup/Keyboard KeyboardNames.pl
Unfortunately this stopped working once we got a release that included
739ea571984c140fa7e2e5b5b12a9b8f8ca77992. This included the change:
-KeyboardNames.pl:
- ./xmlreader $(xkbdir)/rules/xorg.xml >KeyboardNames.pl
+$./KeyboardNames.pl:
+ $(kbddir)/xmlreader $(xkbdir)/rules/xorg.xml >$@
Now we get:
root@probable-ewe:~/console-setup/Keyboard# rm KeyboardNames.pl
root@probable-ewe:~/console-setup/Keyboard# make KeyboardNames.pl
make: *** No rule to make target 'KeyboardNames.pl'. Stop.
When trying to make the file. Is there an invocation we can use to generate the
file? Otherwise, what about including a change like:
diff --git a/Keyboard/Makefile b/Keyboard/Makefile
index 08c9fef..ee12d96 100644
--- a/Keyboard/Makefile
+++ b/Keyboard/Makefile
@@ -82,5 +82,5 @@ maintainer-clean .PHONY : $~maintainer-clean
$~maintainer-clean: $~clean
cd $(kbddir) && ./xmlreader >KeyboardNames.pl
-$./KeyboardNames.pl:
+KeyboardNames.pl $./KeyboardNames.pl:
$(kbddir)/xmlreader $(xkbdir)/rules/xorg.xml >$@
please?
Cheers,
