I don't have gnu.bash on my newsgroup server, so I'm posting this here.
Here is an example GNU makefile: function DoThis() { echo $0 } all : DoThis "Test" I've seen this done before where a bash function is defined within a makefile, and can be subsequently called when a target is matched. However, when I run 'make' I get the following error: makefile:3: *** missing separator. Stop. Line 3 corresponds to "function DoThis()". Does anyone know how to embed a bash function inside a GNU makefile? Any help appreciated, Chris _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
