you just can't figure it out. The way variables are expanded now
means this isn't 100% trivial, but it probably won't be hard.
- 8) Integration of Guile as an embedded scripting language. This means:
- allowing Guile functions to be declared in makefiles somehow, then
- providing a syntax for invoking them. At least one formulation of
- that would have the function resolve to a string which would be
- substituted in the makefile, kind of like $(shell ...) does now, but
- using the embedded interpreter so there's no process forked of
- course. Obviously this is an optional add-on feature.
-
- It could be more advanced than that, even, who knows? Maybe make
- could provide Guile functions that allow Guile scripts more direct
- access to internal make structures, somehow. This kind of thing
- needs a lot of thought.
-
- Also there's always the flip side: in some very fundamental ways
- make isn't the best choice right now for a complex build tool. It's
- great for simple-to-medium tasks, but there are already other tools
- available for the really tough situations. Ask yourself,
- realistically, how much work is worthwhile to add to make, given the
- fundamentals you can't really overcome without significantly
- affecting backward compatibility--and then why not use another tool
- in the first place?
-
- Something to think about.
