I'm having a bit of trouble with cygwin Make 3.77. The $(shell ...) function
does not seem to be working properly. It's not returning the output of the
shell command. Here is a simple test makefile:
shelltest = $(shell echo Hello)
all:
@echo Shelltest = $(shelltest)
When I run this using cygwin Make 3.77, I get:
Shelltest =
I tried this on one of our linux boxes using Make 3.76.1, and I get:
Shelltest = Hello
Am I doing something wrong here? Any thoughts would be appreciated.
With best regards,
MKE
