Building un-registered extention in waf

Posted at 2012-02-14

waf's bld rejects unknown extensions(registered extensions are '.c', '.o', '.obj', '.C', '.c++', '.cxx', '.cc', '.pc.in', '.cpp').

If you have following shell file named app-env.sh.in,

#!/bin/sh

export APP_HOME=@prefix@
# other settings

writing build rule as below.

bld(source='app-env.sh.in',
    target='app-env.sh',
    prefix=bld.env['PREFIX'],
    features='subst')

target and features='subst' are needed. Thanks to tanakh!
