How do I get the new version of 'make' to work like the old? That is,
how to I get 'make' to understand that "\" at the end of a line means
the command continues on the next line?
In previous versions of make (3.8 under FC4), this would work:
$ cat Makefile
foo :
echo 'Hello, \
world'
$ make foo
Hello, world
$ make -v
GNU Make 3.80
With a more recent version of make (3.81beta4 under Ubuntu 6.06), make
does this:
$ make foo
Hello \
world
$ make -v
GNU Make 3.81beta4
Seems like my options are:
1) pass some option to 'make' to make it act like the previous version
(didn't see one.)
2) rewrite my Makefile that I've been using for years to handle
different versions of 'make'
3) use something other than 'make'. Suggestions?
Regards,
