Details:
; wildcard does not handle files with spaces in them.
; A file called "t t" is not 'seen' by wildcard. I tried
; to refer to is as t\\ t or "t\\ t" or "t t" or... etc
; In the following dump (files are in the attached zip file)
; wildcard behaves as expected when the file is name t. When
; I rename the file to t\ t, wildcard cannot 'see' it.
$ ls
Makefile t
$ cat t
VAR_SET_IN_FILE=TRUE
$ cat Makefile
FILE=$(call wildcard,t)
VAR_SET_IN_FILE=FALSE
ifneq (${FILE},)
include ${FILE}
endif
head:
@echo FILE=$(FILE)
echo $(VAR_SET_IN_FILE)
$ make
FILE=t
echo TRUE
TRUE
; ---- so far so good -----
$ vi Makefile
$ mv t "t t"
$ ls
Makefile t t
$ cat Makefile
FILE=$(call wildcard,t\\ t)
VAR_SET_IN_FILE=FALSE
ifneq (${FILE},)
include ${FILE}
endif
head:
@echo FILE=$(FILE)
echo $(VAR_SET_IN_FILE)
$ make
FILE=
echo FALSE
FALSE
