Subject: cook: make2cook: doesn't double `%'
To: submit@bugs.debian.org
X-Mailer: bug 3.2.10
Delivered-To: submit@bugs.debian.org

Package: cook
Version: 2.10-1
Severity: normal

`%' is special in cook, but not in make (at least not in rule bodies;
`$*' serves that purpose in GNU make).

make2cook doesn't take that into account.

Test case:

  $ cat > GNUmakefile <<EOF
  all: foo.bar
  
  %.bar:
  	@echo %
  
  .SUFFIXES:
  EOF
  $ cook2make GNUmakefile Howto.cook
  $ make
  %
  $ cook
  /* Howto.list, /tmp/s, Fri Jun 09 18:04 2000 */
  foo

The fix is that all occurrences of `%' in make rule bodies (excluding `$%',
`${%D}', `$(%F)' and other $% variants, but including `$(shell echo %)'
and most other make functions other than the likes of patsubst) should be
replaced with `%%'.

pjm.
