Unix is case-sensitive, why shouldn't `make' be? But that's the whole issue. If unix weren't case sensitive we wouldn't be having this discussion. > Well...

I've not been using automake very long and learning to abuse it would take some time :) Emile

There are quite a number of them and it impacts readability, plus there's more to keep consistent manually (after the uppercasing other ops are done on the files. At the moment I've used a default rule, which works, but doesn't handle dependancy: .DEFAULT: cp -f `echo $(basename $@) | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`.m $(basename $@).m ../mumps/mumps $(basename $@).m 2>&1 Emile
Uppercasing files
Hi all, I'm trying to create an automake file that has rules to uppercase files. For example I have something.ext and I want it to create a copy SOMETHING.EXT. I tried with this: pkgdata_DATA = SOMETHING.EXT OTHER.EXT CLEANFILES = $(pkgdata_DATA) %.EXT : %.ext cp -f $< `echo $< | tr a-z A-Z` but that doesn't work since no file SOMETHING.ext exists. How so I go about this? Emile
