Hello,
I have the following problem, that I am sure other people had as well and wonder if it is possible with make or if somebody knows a different program well suited instead. I have a collection of files >100 that I need to process via multiple steps >10 into several results (some depend on multiple/all input files). Now the processing rules also depend on parameters, that depend on the source and target file names. I want to describe the build process as simple as possible. Formulating all rules is no choice. Implicit rules are no 'good' choice as their pattern matching is too weak. Targets differ in more than one place. What would be much better are rules automatically build for targets matching a regular expression. And optimally the rule would depend on the target name and on 'properties' assigned to the source files - many can possibly be inferred from its name. Also I could use hash maps to match part of file names onto parameter sets. Is it formulated well enough to be understood? Any help or link how this can be implemented in a nice (manageable) way is appreciated.
