Hello,
I am currently working on a port, where I need to make the following sed
substitution in Makefile: turn "print $1" into "print $4".
Therefore, in Makefile I set: ${REINPLACE_CMD} 's|print $1|print $4|g'
file_to_be_changed
However, when invoking the build with make, the shell never performs the
transformation. The build just runs:
/usr/bin/sed -i.bak 's|print | print |g' file_to_be_changed
and nothing happens.
At the same time, when simply running the same sed command above on the command
line, the substitution actually gets performed.
I could imagine, that this has to do with the shell viewing the dollar
expressions as arguments being passed to the script.
Any ideas as to how I can get about this one?
