[avr-chat] Need a make guru; embedding web pages

[Rick Mann]

I realize this isn't strictly AVR-related, but I am using AVRs in my projects, 
and the info might be useful to the list.

I'm working on an internet-enabled embedded project that is configurable via 
internal web server. I build the web pages directly into the application binary 
and then read them out at the appropriate address. This part is working well 
enough (on ARM, actually, but I need to do it on an AVR soon).

I use objcopy to convert the .html, .png, and .css files to .o that then get 
linked into the resulting image. I then try to generate a web.h file that 
creates lines like

extern const char index_html[];
extern const char index_html_end[];
extern const char error_html[];
extern const char error_html_end[];
extern const char main_css[];
extern const char main_css_end[];
WebFileTOC sWebTOC = {
{ "index.html", index_html, index_html_end },
{ "error.html", error_html, error_html_end },
{ "main.css", main_css, main_css_end },
};

This lets my web server code get at the content (I realize on AVR I'd have to 
the pgm-space access stuff; that's not the issue).

I'm having trouble getting the rules to properly make things in order, and 
generate the header file, and then analyze the dependencies and build all the 
files that depend on the web.h.

If there's anyone out there who's pretty make-savvy, I'd like to share my 
Makefile with you and see if we can't improve on it.

Thanks!
