$^ is gmake syntax for "all prerequisites", but bsd make has never recognized that particular variable, so afaik it has always been ignored (rev 1.1 even has them). There's also a useless use of cat in there. If you wanted, you could do something like this (for all targets except netgroup, which calls revnetgroup inbetween cat and awk): ypservers: $(YPSERVERS) @echo "Updating [EMAIL PROTECTED]" - $(CAT) $(YPSERVERS) | \ - $(AWK) '{ if ($$1 != "" && $$1 !~ "^#.*") print $$0"\t"$$0 }' $^ \ + $(AWK) '{ if ($$1 != "" && $$1 !~ "^#.*") print $$0"\t"$$0 }' $(YPSERVERS) \ | $(DBLOAD) -i $(YPSERVERS) -o $(YPMAPDIR)/$@ - $(TMP); \ $(RMV) $(TMP) $@ @$(DBLOAD) -c -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
