I have a Makefile which has a line:
sed -i -e 's/\(^COPTS = \)/\1$(CFLAGS) /' $(DIR)/Makefile
After substituting values it becomes:
sed -i -e 's/\(^COPTS = \)/\1"-I/home/jagadeesh/Smoothwall/bcutm/distrib/tools//powerpc-linux/include -I/home/jagadeesh/Smoothwall/bcutm/distrib/usr/include/ncurses -I/home/jagadeesh/Smoothwall/bcutm/distrib/usr/include" /' net-tools-1.60/Makefile
When make is run it gives following error:
sed: -e expression #1, char 23: unknown option to `s'
The net-tool-1.60/Makefile on which this sed command is going to run contains following relevant lines:
COPTS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -O2 -Wall -g # -I/usr/inet6/include
CFLAGS = $(COPTS) -I. -idirafter ./include/ -I$(NET_LIB_PATH)
MDEFINES = COPTS='$(COPTS)' LOPTS='$(LOPTS)' TOPDIR='$(TOPDIR)'
What does that command do, to which line of the Makefile, why is the error comming, I didn't modify anything except CFLAGS and LDFLAGS which are my custom.
