Sorry, if the question about Makefiles is off-topic here but I didn't find
Makefile-specific NG.
I try to use a call function in a Makefile.
This code was up to now part of a Makefile rule:
ruleA:
$(MAKE) ruleB
ruleB:
if [ -f file1 ] && [ -f file2 ]; then \
awk '/^#/ { next } {print}' file2; \
else \
exit 1; \
fi;
This works fine.
Now I replaced this code by a call function
ruleA:
$(call ruleB,file1)
ruleB = \
if [ -f $(1) ] && [ -f file2 ]; then \
awk '/^#/ { next } {print}' file2; \
else \
exit 1; \
fi;
(so, basically just the function invocation and the function parameter
were changed.)
When "make" now runs the target "ruleA" I get the error message:
/bin/sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
/bin/sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file
The problem seems to be the "awk" invocation. When I remove it, than
"make" works.
Any ideas what problem I have here?
