Hi friends!
I have a suggestion.
I'm slowly getting rid of my recursive Makefiles. Instead I have one
local.mk per directory, and a few Makefile.ams that include them. Of
course I have to prefix all my file names with the name of the
directory, and I find that this explicit name is actually clutter. I
don't think automake can be educated to guess by itself where to
prepend the directory name, yet it would be quite easier to have some
variable that would expand to the prefix of the included file.
For instance with
include foo/bar/local.mk
I'd like to have something like $(cwd) [1] replaced by foo/bar inside
local.mk. Or something like that. It should be recursive: if foo/bar/
local.mk itself includes something else, paths should be appended.
Thanks for the good work!
[1] whatever the name, but not too long. Maybe a symbol, $/ for
instance.
