Please retain a CC to 766140-forwar...@bugs.debian.org so that the Debian BTS has a copy of your input. Sample Makefile: # -------------------------- foo: bar echo foo bar: $(MAKE) baz echo "lala" baz: echo baz # -------------------------- $ make -q foo; echo $? make baz Makefile:4: recipe for target 'bar' failed make: *** [bar] Error 1 2 The fine manual says ,---- | If the exit status is one, then some updating needs to be done. | If make encounters an error, the exit status is two, so you can | distinguish an error from a target that is not up to date. `---- This is technically kindof correct, although _why_ the error occurs is mysterious. In particular, adding a comment before the recursive make, i.e. bar: # lalala $(MAKE) baz echo "lala" causes make -q bar to return 1.
