makefile line number when errors |

Hello
I am interested to know if anyway to see the line number in the
output. I've got some huge makefiles, and is hard to track down the
line with the error sometimes. I include an example below.
On Windows this looks like:
c:\>make -f test.mk
unknown-exe
process_begin: CreateProcess(NULL, unknown-exe, ...) failed.
make (e=2): The system cannot find the file specified.
make: [build] Error 2 (ignored)
On GNU+Linux this looks like:
$ make -f test.mk
unknown-exe
make: unknown-exe: Command not found
make: [build] Error 127 (ignored)
Would be great if it could output:
"make: test.mk:5 unknown-exe: Command not found"
Not really sure why, but the - on the beggining of the "-unknown-exe"
seems to cause the error to be (ignored).
Please keep my email address included in any replies.
Best regards, Jon
