Hello
My make distcheck fails on Windows because of the following:
-------------------------------------------------------------
check_PROGRAMS = \
simple \
xml-simple \
parentness \
destroy \
rm_all_trans \
unblock_all \
bug16 \
meta_data
[..._SOURCES and stuff]
TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS:=.test)
$(TESTS):
for i in $(TESTS); do \
$(LN_S) -f $(top_srcdir)/build-aux/test.sh $$i || exit 1; \
done
EXTRA_DIST = $(TESTS:.test=.stdout)
-------------------------------------------------------------
Automake automagically appends $EXEEXT (=.exe on Win32) to the check_PROGRAMS
which entails that TESTS = simple.exe.test etc.. instead of simple.test etc..
make dist then looks for simple.exe.stdout (etc) instead of simple.stdout (etc).
I tried several things such as
TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS:$(EXEEXT)=.test)
(Makefile.am:38: check_PROGRAMS:$(EXEEXT: non-POSIX variable name) although it
seems to work [with GNU make] (but I doubt the resulting Makefile is portable)
TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS:$EXEEXT=.test)
TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS:${EXEEXT}=.test)
(Both generated Makefile contains: TESTS = $(check_PROGRAMS) which is obviously
wrong).
So what's The Right Way of writing this?
