hi..

I'm trying to run the following in a package Makefile, but the ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} seems to get replaced with a blank during Makefile processing before sed sees it.

define Build/Configure
  SED="$(TOOLCHAIN_DIR)/bin/$(TARGET_CROSS)sed" \
  ${SED} "s/COMMAND exdaub/COMMAND ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}\/exdaub/" $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/daub-2.1/CMakeLists.txt
...

When i run:

make V=s

the output displayed is:

.../staging_dir/host/bin/sed -i -e "s/COMMAND exdaub/COMMAND \/exdaub/" ...

It seems to be treating ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR} as a variable during processing of the Makefile before sed sees it. Tried using a sed script file, but the toolchain sed automatically inserts "-i -e" options and won't allow "-f".

Does anyone know of a good way to handle this? I could create my own version of the github project i'm using, but it's harder to maintain.

thanks!

Got around it by using $(PKG_BUILD_DIR) instead of the cmake variable. It is converted into a string containing "/" characters before sed parses it so it is necessary to use something like "s#COMMAND exdaub#COMMAND $(PKG_BUILD_DIR)/exdaub#".

I just use $(STAGING_DIR_HOST)/bin/sed instead of $(SED) to avoid the above problem.
