Re: A better way to perform substitution in make

[Randy Kao]

First off I wanted to give a belayed thanks to Allan and Harvey for their feedback.

My first attempt at attacking this problem was incorrect because this Makefile runs on *nix and Windows, whereas my solution seems to work only on Unix / Linux.

Using the find command in $(shell find -type f) is not portable in this case.

Looking through the make functions, I didn't seem to find anything that would go and list out files given an argument of a top level directory.

I know of the foreach iterator and in conjunction with the wildcard function could list everything out, however you would still need  to get a list of all the subdirectories to pass to it.

There is an easier way to do this right?

Thanks,
Randy

Here is what I do:

rootdir = $(word 1,$(patsubst %/,%,$(dir $(MAKEFILE_LIST))))
