I'm having problems building a program on Digital UNIX V4.0F, and it
seems to boil down to the following observed behaviour on this
platform. The results from issuing `make' with this makefile:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
FUBAR=$(shell echo fubar)
all:
@echo FUBAR = $(FUBAR)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
are:
Version Result
3.78.1 FUBAR = fubar
3.79.1 FUBAR = fubar
3.80 FUBAR =
3.81a1 (CVS) FUBAR =
whereas on alpha/Linux (and I guess other platforms), version 3.80
behaves the same as 3.78.1 and 3.79.1 above.
Any help, pointers, or suggested workarounds appreciated.
Thanks,
