Not strictly FBSD, but ... Within a makefile, I need to assign the name of a program as in:
FOO = "bar". The problem is that 'bar' may also be know as, say, "bar.sh". Worse still both "bar" and "bar.sh" can exist with one linked to the other. Is there a simple way to determine which form "bar" or "bar.sh" on on a given system *at the time the make is run*? If both exist, I will pick one arbitrarily, I just don't want the detection mechanism to fail when this is the case. For example I don't think this works when both are there: FOO = $(shell `which bar bar.sh) Thanks, -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tim Daneliuk tun...@tundraware.com PGP Key: http://www.tundraware.com/PGP/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
