RE: GNU make help on patsubst

[Li, Jerry]

Hi, Chad:

Thanks for your info, however, we do not use any unix-style on the
developer's systems. The makefile system I am developing is used by all
developers. Is it possible to do it only using function from GNU make?

thanks again,

Jerry

If you're using Cygwin, you might try something
like the this (it's worked well for me):

# or whatever uname -s gives you on your system
ifeq ("$(shell uname -s)","CYGWIN_NT-5.0")
    nativepath = $(foreach x,$(1),'$(shell cygpath -wa $(x))')
else
    nativepath = $(foreach x,$(1),$(x))
endif

And then you can use $(call nativepath,$@) and similar
things in your commands.
