1306.0. "Makefile help with .profile needed" by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Wed Mar 01 1995 22:35

Subj: 	Makefile help with .profile needed

Steve, looking at the makefile, I see
	_SED_OPTIONS            = -e 's+%TCB%++' -e t
not
	SED_OPTIONS             = -e 's+%TCB%++' -e t
or 
	.profile_SED_OPTIONS    = -e 's+%TCB%++' -e t

The general entry I believe needs to be the one with no leading
underscore.  The specific case should be my 2nd suggestion. 
The SEC_LEVEL is particular to security stuff -- I always avoid this.

If this doesn't do it, send mail to buildhelp@zk3.dec.com to get more
eyes looking at it (I cc'd them here too).

Hi Josh -

HELP!

I understand that you're in school this week, so I'd be happy to hear
from you when you get a moment.

I'm a bit confused about a particular Makefile: ptos/src/root/Makefile
to be particular. First, some brief history:

We noticed a problem in platinum where the src/root/.profile
file had the string "%TCB%" in the PATH variable. In the source
to this file, it appears that "%TCB%" was to be replaced by a 
SED_OPTION in the Makefile. Note: previously, the name of ./profile
was real.profile. In the Makefile you'll see a line

	real.profile_SED_OPTIONS = ${${SEC_LEVEL}_SED_OPTIONS}

Well given that real.profile is now just .profile that's our first problem.
The bigger problem is how to fix this, given that I can't get the following
line to work

	.profile_SED_OPTIONS = ${${SEC_LEVEL}_SED_OPTIONS}

Apparently, 'make' is disregarding this line due to the leading "."
My confusion stems from the fact that I've seen lines in other Makefiles
such as

	.new..file_IMODE = 444

which work fine. 

Do you have any clues as to how to circumvent this problem?

THANKS!
