(Patch by Adrien Nader!)
On Windows, IFLEXDIR is defined as -I"$(FLEXDIR)". The new
mk_shell_and_ocamlbuild_config script outputs:
echo IFLEXDIR="\"$(IFLEXDIR)\""
However, becauses $(IFLEXDIR) contains quotation marks, this becomes:
echo IFLEXDIR="\"-I"$(FLEXDIR)"\""
This unquotes $(FLEXDIR) and breaks the program.
Simply exclude IFLEXDIR from the variables that are handled by the
script. This is actually what the previous scripts were doing: the
exclude list was .*FLEXDIR and matched both IFLEXDIR and FLEXDIR while
the one I made only had \<FLEXDIR\> in it.
I've tried to handle it but there are at least three competing languages
and quoting rules: makefile (both gnu make and several bsd makes), shell
script and ocaml.
There's no human way to do string processing given the portability
constraints: both gnu make and pmake (and its descendants) have powerful
string processing functions but they're not the same.
The only sane way would be to store the configuration in a more evolved
language that is portable, has arrays and powerful string handling
routines in standard like C or awk. From there it would be possible to
output make, shell script and OCaml code easily.
One day. Maybe.
