I've got (and attached) this simple Makefile that checks the build
platform of a machine.
Here's the cut-and-pasted content of the Makefile:
PLATFORM=$(shell uname -s | cut -f 1 -d " " | cut -f 1 -d "_");
Try removing the trailing semicolon. It is not removed by make, so
PLATFORM ends up being "CYGWIN;".
Bingo. That did it!
So does that mean that make 3.80 was wrong then?
Please ignore this, sorry. Both have the correct behaviour.
When expanded under Linux, the make statements become
ifeq ("Linux;", "CYGWIN)
echo cygwin;
else
echo linux;
endif
it will "correctly" output "linux" but it got to the else conditional only
because "Linux;" != "CYGWIN.
The trailing semi-colon confused me. I was treating the Makefile as a bash
script.
Thanks, David!
