Re: [Axiom-developer] Debian build failure

Hi Tim,

Interesting. The two lines from my src/algebra/Makefile look like

${MID}/VECTOR.lsp: ${IN}/vector.spad.pamphlet
	@${TANGLE} -R"VECTOR.lsp BOOTSTRAP" 
${IN}/vector.spad.pamphlet>${MID}/VECTOR.lsp

No \ there.

I am using debian.

awk --version
GNU Awk 3.1.4

But I also heard that there is some issue with \ in awk.
