I can't get my header install targets to work correctly. My implicit
rule doesn't match my prerequisites. I made as small an example as I
could, here it is :
INSTALLEDHEADERS = folder\test.hpp
.PHONY : install
install : $(INSTALLEDHEADERS)
folder\%.hpp : %.hpp
copy $< $@
Here's the output of make install :
c:\ctwoplus\progcode\allegro\Eagle\maketest>make install
make: *** No rule to make target `folder\test.hpp', needed by
`install'. Stop.
So, why doesn't folder\%.hpp match folder\test.hpp? I don't get it.
Nevermind, I figured it out - if I replace all the backslashes with
forward slashes and then change the copy command to use backslashes by a
$(substr /,$(SLASH),$(FOO)) substitution, it all works. Maybe this post
will help someone in the future. I figured mingw32-make would be able to
handle backslashes. Guess not.
