I have a makefile that works using Sun make, but fails with GNU make. I think this may be a GNU bug. Here is the makefile in question: ---------- SHELL=/bin/csh all: -@echo 'header' ; -@echo -n 'enter text: ' ; \ set a=$$< ; echo $$a ; ---------- The problem is that the user never gets a chance to enter a value for the shell variable 'a'...the makefile just cruises right through without stopping. I can workaround this by using the following: ---------- SHELL=/bin/csh all: -@echo 'header' ; \ echo -n 'enter text: ' ; \ set a=$$< ; echo $$a ; ---------- I'd like to hear if you think this is a bug. Thanks. -josh simons
