I may have stumbled across a defect in make 3.80 concerning $(eval) used in if{def,ndef,eq,neq} (I didn't try many more). I have not been able to connect to subversions.gnu.org to test against the CVS source, so this may have already been addressed. I have reproduced the defect on a red hat 7.2 box w/ make 3.80 built by hand, and a debian unstable/testing box running a 3.80-7 package version. Attached are a number of makefiles. All of them generate a parse error *except* for the work-around & include file also provided. I have also attached the typescript file from a run on my debian box. I'd like to take an opportunity to thank the development team as well. Not only for the maintainence and fixes, but for adding new features such as $(eval). I have designed and maintain the build system where I work (well, actually 4 of them); they all use GNU make in some capacity. My job is *much* easier due to your efforts. Thanks. -- Keith Hellman #include <disclaimer.h> address@hidden from disclaimer import standard public key @ www.mcprogramming.com "We will perhaps eventually be writing only small modules which are identified by name as they are used to build larger ones, so that devices like indentation, rather than delimiters, might become feasible for expressing local structure in the source language." -- Donald E.
