Thanks for the reply. I did submit this to [EMAIL PROTECTED] as well. One thing I failed to make clear is that these piped commands DO work from the command line of every shell I've tried, and they DO work when running a $shell in a single make file. The problem arises when recursively running a make with piped shell commands - AND the make has to be recursed into about five directories deep. Also, I don't have to use echo and sed - I can use any other programs that do text I/O. One other thing - this all works with Cygwin's version of make. It only fails on the win32 port provided by gnu.org.
