Recently on gnu-make cvs a new function has been added: $(file >filename,content) This allow to put the content on a file natively (without using the shell, and therefore there is no command line limitation This can be used to simplify $(var2file, whihc I have long suspected to be the reason why MacOSX is occasionally failing with 'Too Many Open Files' errors.
I've pushed 2 patches. one add the detection of that feature in gnumake during configure, the other use a simplified $(var2file when that feature is available I've also back-ported the feature in gnu-make 3.82 in contrib/dev-tools Norbert _______________________________________________ LibreOffice mailing list LibreOffice@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice
