Hi,
[EMAIL PROTECTED] elucidated on 08/02/07 21:53:
i have some old (circa 1997) makefiles which run fine on current UNIX systems
with their versions of make. if i run gnu make as make -n then GNU make shows
the commands that will be executed just fine however, when i actually issue
the make command then none of the commands as reported via make -n are
actually executed.
is this a known problem; is there a workaround ?
Sounds like a configuration problem, just an idea, but are you setting
SHELL?
Are you running GNU Make v3.81 ? Perhaps you can try with that latest
release.
If you can post a small reproducible test case, telling us your OS,
shell and make version we could help a bit more.
Best regards
Jon
