Hi,
in kmod.mk (and I believe in other places as well) we have constructs in th=
e=20
form of this: ${SOMEARRAY:M${SOMEVAR}} However, make doesn't seem to=20
understand this. I don't see any traces that it ever did and I have no clu=
e=20
if it should.
I might well misunderstand things (not a make guru) so here is my testcase:
| STUFF=3D foo bar foobar
| FOO=3Dfoo
|=20
| mtest:
| echo ${STUFF:M${FOO}}
and "$make mtest" gives:
| echo }
| }
this clearly suggests that make is not equipped to handle the variable=20
expansion here.
In any case we have to fix either kmod.mk or make.
On a related question: How can I get the actual location of a file that is=
=20
in .PATH? All I could come up with was ${.ALLSRC:M*${MY_FILE}} which doesn=
't=20
work as I am explaining here.
=2D-=20
