Problem with make 'undef missing'

Problem with make 'undef missing'

[Philippe Bastiani]

Hi,

I use a generic makefile on several systems... In the past, this makefile
worked fine under Cygwin !
Now, I obtain the following error: 'makefile.def:3: *** <endef> missing...

See, the following stupid makefile:
*** Begin of file ***
ifneq ($(strip $(SUBDIRS)),)
else
<TAB>define MAKE_SUBDIRS
<TAB><TAB>$(MAKE_NOTHING)
<TAB>endef
endif

.PHONY  : all
all  :  depend

.PHONY : depend
depend depends: $(CCLIST) $(CLIST)
$(MAKE_DEPENDS)
$(MAKE_SUBDIRS)
*** end of file ***

Please note: if I replace the <TAB> character (line 5, before the endef) by
blank characters.. make works with no error !

a+

Philippe,

This was reported before (quite recently, maybe in the past couple of
months).  I don't recall the exact details or whether there was a
resolution, but you should be able to find it in the archives.  Sorry I
couldn't me more helpful.
