I tried, but failed to create a macro with more than one line. You don't
happen to have a working example? The difference to the xforms example you
sent is that we need to put the whole thing in a macro in order to use it's
output as dependency string, not just to execute the code in a particular
stage.
What we need is something like
%define find_dep %(<body>)
where <body> consists actually of several lines of shell code. The %()
construct ensures that the output of the shell code is used as macro value.
