I'm trying to link all *.o files from another folder and would like to in my Makefile do something like;
g++ *.o (folder/*.o and not folder/main.o) -o bin
Is there someway I can use somekind of simple regex here?
Try g++ *.o $( echo folder/*.o |tr ' ' ", assuming none of
" | egrep -v folder/main.o )folder/*.o have SPACES in their names.
Here's how it works:
echo folder/*.o produces a space-separated list of the filenames, with the directory.
tr ' ' " changes all the spaces to newlines (giving us one filename per line, which makes
"egrep happy.
egrep -v folder/main.o eliminates the undesired filename from this list.
$() puts the rest of the filenames on the command line. Since $IFS defaults to SPACE, TAB, NEWLINE, we don't have to tr them back to spaces.
