If @ is used within a definition of a set of rules, lines following the
lines with @ are also suppressed! This occurs on gnumake versions 3.79 and
higher.
A small example to reproduce this is:
# Compile C++ file.
define compile_cpp_file
@echo "Compiling ..."
g++ -o fptest fptest.c
@echo "Compile Finished ..."
endef
fptest :
$(compile_cpp_file)
In this example, g++ -o fptest fptest.c does not get printed to the
standard output! The actual output is:
Compiling ...
Compile Finished ...
To help out, the actual line in the gnumake sources that seems to cause
this behaviour is line 899 of job.c
child->file->cmds->lines_flags[child->command_line - 1] |= flags;
By commenting this line out I get the expected output.
