Unfortunately, I have a more pressing problem with my make environment. Sometimes the problem doesn't occur, but usually it does. In debugging this problem, I'm down to the following makefile: #------------------------------- fred: @echo "doin' it!!" #------------------------------- If I make the following call from my c-shell: > make -f ./makefile fred I would expect it to execute the echo command, and then exit. Unfortunately, I get the following error: #------------------------------- ', needed by `fred'. Stop.arget ` #------------------------------- This is happening on two solaris 2.5.1 boxes, running gnu make V3.76.1. The same makefile (actually a more convoluted version with the same problem) works fine on a Win32 box running cygnus make port. Any ideas? This is driving me crazy.
