Makefile question
I'm trying to do string replacement with a Makefile and this is my scenario:
Inside file "fileA", I have "#include<text>" statements and I want to replace it with the text inside a file called "params". I wish to perform this task using Makefiles. I've tried using m4 but that only works if the replacement string is inside the Makefile, as opposed to being inside a file, which is what I need.
If this is not possible, is there an alternative solution?
Thanks

At my company, we build some stuff using a makefile. While the makefile script is running, a developer may check in a newer version of a source file. The problem is, when we next run the make command, the target file isn't rebuilt, because the date of the target is after the dependency.

dh_auto_install
DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1) Debhelper DH_AUTO_INSTALL(1)
NAME
dh_auto_install - automatically runs make install or similar
SYNOPSIS
dh_auto_install [buildsystemoptions] [debhelperoptions] [--params]
DESCRIPTION
dh_auto_install is a debhelper program that tries to automatically install built files. It does so by running the appropriate command for
the build system it detects the package uses. For example, if there's a Makefile and it contains a install target, then this is done by
running make (or MAKE, if the environment variable is set). If there is a setup.py or Build.PL, it is used. Note that the Ant build system
does not support installation, so dh_auto_install will not install files built using Ant.
Unless --destdir option is specified, the files are installed into debian/package/ if there is only one binary package. In the multiple
binary package case, the files are instead installed into debian/tmp/, and should be moved from there to the appropriate package build
directory using dh_install(1).
DESTDIR is used to tell make where to install the files. If the Makefile was generated by MakeMaker from a Makefile.PL, it will
automatically set PREFIX=/usr too, since such Makefiles need that.
This is intended to work for about 90% of packages. If it doesn't work, or tries to use the wrong install target, you're encouraged to skip
using dh_auto_install at all, and just run make install manually.
OPTIONS
See "BUILD SYSTEM OPTIONS" in debhelper(7) for a list of common build system selection and control options.
--destdir=directory
Install files into the specified directory. If this option is not specified, destination directory is determined automatically as
described in the "DESCRIPTION" section.
-- params
Pass params to the program that is run, after the parameters that dh_auto_install usually passes.
SEE ALSO
debhelper(7)
This program is a part of debhelper.
