I notice that $(dir ...) leaves the trailing / when given a full filename path.
Is there an easy way to remove the trailing / ? It would nice to have a function that didn't leave it there in some applications we have. I tried to do this so I could get the root dir of a program, but it fails to give me /x/y/z and gives /x/y/z/bin/ . I assume the trailing / in /x/y/z/bin/ is the problem. $(dir $(dir /x/y/z/bin/program)) I was trying to avoid using $(shell ... ) which I assume is slower. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
