Cannot handle long filenames as input

[shiblon]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 110

Hi,

Seems like the makefile can't handle long filenames. I includ an epslatex graphics
in my source file as following :

\input{./results/specfp_smt_disp_iss_prof_fifo_4_uops_ready_disp_issued_less_ctr.tex}

and the error I get is 
make: *** No rule to make target `results/specfp_smt_disp_iss_prof_fifo_4_uops_ready_disp_issued_less_ctr\',
needed by `ooo_fifo_main.d'.

make: Failed to remake makefile `ooo_fifo_main.d'.
make: *** No rule to make target `results/specfp_smt_disp_iss_prof_fifo_4_uops_ready_disp_issued_less_ctr
.pdf', needed by `ooo_fifo_main.pdf'.

I have verified this by shortening the filename. Also by running pdflatex directly
in the shell it works fine.

thanx.

Following is how the log file looks like
.SECONDEXPANSION:
-include ./results/specfp_smt_disp_iss_prof_fifo_4_uops_ready_disp_issued_less_ctr\\\
.pdf.gpi.d
ooo_fifo_main.d: $$(call graphics-source,./results/specfp_smt_disp_iss_prof_fifo_4_uops_ready_disp_issued_less_ctr\\\

Quick note: the makefile doesn't fully support subdirectories, and it's looking like
it never will.  This will probably work most of the time, but things like "make clean"
will not work properly with graphics in subdirectories.

That said, this appears to be a real bug and I'm looking at it right now.  If you could
give me more details, like attaching your log files, that might help me find it.

I believe that this can be fixed with a one-line patch.  If you are building the makefile
from the source, then the attached patch will do it for you (I think).  If you are
just using the downloaded makefile, look for the line that says

-e '  s/.*File `\([^'"'"']*\)'"'"' not found.*/\1/' \        

And add the following directly below it (the backslash needs to be the last thing on
the line):

-e '  s/[[:cntrl:]]//' \

IF that doesn't fix it, then we have another one lurking somewhere, but it definitely
fixed the error for me.

Ok I have just moved to 2.2.0-rc8 and the problem seems to have resolved. Even without
the one line patch. Earlier I was using 2.2.0-rc6.

Thanx for a quick reply.

Hey, that's great.  There was still a bug, though, so I'm glad you submitted the issue
report.

so is the one line patch needed anymore? 

thanx for your makefile it certainly is convenient to automate things.

The one-line patch is now part of the main distribution: 2.2.0-rc9

Enjoy!

And you're welcome.  :-)
