I don't know what this is, but it generates pretty seriously malformed SMTP messages :-/. Using the Win32 port of GNU make 3.79.1 on Windows 2000 with either the = Cygwin shell, or the MKS sh.exe, or even the Windows cmd.exe I get a = hang when running the following makefile: PKGDIR = $(shell echo this.is.a.test | sed 's:\.:/:g') Your best bet is to ask on [EMAIL PROTECTED], but, did you try running this directoy at the command line, without using make's shell function? If that doesn't work, then it's not a make issue at all and you should ask the Cygwin or even the MKS or Microsoft folks. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
