Subj: Re: Makefile magic for symlinks
John, did you get an answer to this yet? If you look in ./Makefile
in agosminor, you'll see this example. If you look in the file
./usr/lib/makefiles/template.mk you'll find some more description
for the SYMLINKS rules (actually, I've attached it below).
Simple example with same name in different directories:
SYMLINKS = lib bin
SYMLINKDIR1 = usr
SYMLINKDIR2 = /
in this example, for each of the target names 'lib' and 'bin', an
expression is constructed internally something like:
ln -s ./${SYMLINKDIR1}/<target> ./${SYMLINKDIR2}/<target>
What you want, requiring a different name, is more tricky, and
you may have to experiment slightly based on the rules, but I
think it would be as follows:
In ./usr/sbin/Makefile, add the rules:
SYMLINKS = vquotaon
SYMLINKDIR1 = .
SYMLINKDIR2 = .
vquotaon_SYMLINK = vquotaoff
This should create the following in the output tree:
/usr/sbin/vquotaoff -> ./vquotaon

Subject: Makefile magic for symlinks
X-Us-Snail: DEC, 110 Spit Brook Road, M/S ZKO3-3/U14, Nashua, NH 03062
Status: RO
In the final output, I want to create a symlink between command names,
like so:
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root system 8 Aug 25 18:51 /usr/sbin/vquotaoff -> vquotaon
How can I set this up in the Makefile for ./usr/sbin/vquotaon?
John
