Please can you tell me who is the current maintainer of the make utility (3.79.1) ? I would like to send him some questions about all the changes since 3.77. Well, why not asking here .... I hacked the make version 3.77 in order to be able to extend the builtin functions with new functions, mainly for one reason: to run faster as with $(shell ....) when implementing things the limited set of builtin functions cannot do. I didn't use it up to today where I decided to port my stuff to the latest make version. Ok, the implementation of the builtin functions has changed, is much cleaner now, but it seems that ONE thing has gone: the succes/failure status that was returned by a builtin function. Do you have a suggestion about this ?, how to reimplement it ? And of course, althrough I didn't really try to use my extension stuff, and have not yet a complete view of the thing, you are welcome to discuss this subject....if interested in. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
