[Aspell-user] [ASPELL] Problema con el makefile del diccionario 0.5

[Vincent Belaïche]

Hola !

El diccionario que está allí :

ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/dict/es/aspell-es-0.50-2.tar.bz2

tiene un archivo Makefile.pre con:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
es.rws: es.cwl


.SUFFIXES: .cwl .rws

.cwl.rws:
${WORD_LIST_COMPRESS} d < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=es create master ./$@
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- end -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

Es mejor no emplear `.SUFFIXES', no funcciona bien con todos los Make
(por ejemplo con MSYS no funcciona), y en lugar de `.SUFFIXES' escribir
la norma así:

--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- begin -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----
es.rws: es.cwl

%.rws: %.cwl
${WORD_LIST_COMPRESS} d < $< | ${ASPELL} ${ASPELL_FLAGS} --lang=es create master ./$@
--8<----8<----8<----8<----8<-- end -->8---->8---->8---->8---->8----

Hi,

Remember that aspell-user uses English as communication language.
I am just adding some info, including partial translations for
aspell maintainer benefit (Hi, Kevin)

That Makefile snippet is created by aspell proc script from aspell-lang in
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/aspell/. Similar snippets seems to be in all other
aspell dictionaries (20101122 aspell-lang seems to still use that).

At least for GNU make those suffix rules are the original and obsolete way
of defining implicit rules.

That is the current way of defining implicit rules, at least in GNU make.
I'd have expected old suffix rules to work in any make, but seems not the
case, at least for MSYS. Will normal implicit rules work in any make?

What do you think, Kevin?

Sorry for writing in Spanish. In fact I was writing primarilly to the dictionary maintainer, and just CC to the aspell user list. I was not aware that this makefile was created by some common script.

I must apologize, MSYS GNU Make works fine with obsolete rule syntax, the reason why it did not work was other (my configuration was such that the configure script could find aspell, but not word-list-compress).

Probably the only needed correction to make is that configure should be more robust to this case to warn the user. Attached is a fix proprosal.

VBR,
   Vincent.
