This is no longer needed as there are now a similar definitions in base,
which use ALH, not ALHS. You can keep you won FILE_TYPE, though, since
due to the different name there is no conflict.

This is a mistake. RULES.Db is an overly complicated monster. I wish
there was a way to completely disable it.

All you need is the vpaths:

> vpath %.alhConfig $(USR_VPATH) $(GENERIC_SRC_DIRS) $(dir $(ALH))
> vpath %.alhsubstitutions $(USR_VPATH) $(GENERIC_SRC_DIRS) $(COMMON_DIR)

however, these are not good. I would rather use

vpath %.alhConfig $(USR_VPATH) $(GENERIC_SRC_DIRS) $(COMMON_DIR)
vpath %.alhsubstitutions $(USR_VPATH) $(GENERIC_SRC_DIRS)

(Presumably alhsubstitutions are sources, while alhConfig may be sources
or produced by the rule below.)

The only rule you need is

> $(COMMON_DIR)/%.alhConfig: %.alhsubstitutions
>         @echo "Inflating alhConfig from $< using local rule"
>         @$(RM) $@
>         @echo "$(MSI) -S$< > $(@F) </dev/null"
>         @$(MSI) -I.. $(ALHFLAGS) -S$< </dev/null > $@

which I would re-write as

$(COMMON_DIR)/%.alhConfig: %.alhsubstitutions
	$(ECHO) "Inflating alhConfig from $< using local rule"
	$(MSI) -I.. $(ALHFLAGS) -S$< > [email protected]
	$(MV) [email protected] $@

(Why suppress echoing of the command line and then echo manually in a
separate command, just so you don't see the $(ALHFLAGS) parameter? The
"output to .tmp, then mv" pattern is to make parallel make more reliable.)

Also, the include of RULES_ALARMS below

> File:  Makefile:
> TOP=../../..
> include $(TOP)/configure/CONFIG
> ALHS += ntwk_inj.alhConfig
> include $(TOP)/configure/RULES
> include $(TOP)/configure/RULES_ALARMS

is automatically done by the base rules.

Cheers
