GNU make will always expand the entire recipe (all lines) before it tries to invoke any shell commands. So, all the warning functions are expanded first, before the echo command is invoked. Probably the line number thing is an error: clearly it would be better if the correct line number was preserved. _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
