Hello,
As part of the build process, I would like to convert text files to binary
files. They don't get installed, the files can be used later to test the
program.
In particular, the input format is *.txt and the output format is *.bin.
I've got it working, but I feel it's far from elegant. I want it to be part of
the distribution package, the .bin files to be generated by the source .txt
files but I don't want them to be installed anywhere.
Thanks,
Jason.

SRC = 01_InvalidByte.txt \
02_CorruptedMsg.txt \
03_InvalidByte.txt \
04_InvalidByteAscii.txt \
05_BufferOverrun.txt
# The rule:
# BIN = $(SRC:.txt=.bin)
# doesn't seem to work
BIN = 01_InvalidByte.bin \
02_CorruptedMsg.bin \
03_InvalidByte.bin \
04_InvalidByteAscii.bin \
05_BufferOverrun.bin
CLEANFILES = $(BIN)
EXTRA_DIST = $(SRC) pxxd.pl
all: $(BIN)
# When we 'make' we create generate the bin files
.txt.bin:
perl pxxd.pl $< $@
