Dear gnu-make helpers,
I find few things are quite as aggravating as a shell-scripting difficulty,
and so your help is much appreciated. Here's what I've been banging my head
against the wall with (today):
How do I execute the following /bin/sh command form withing make? I need to
avoid calling a script from outside of make:
#!/bin/sh
while ( some_command ; [ $? -eq 255 ] );
do sleep 10;
done
This loop simply checks the exist status of "some_command", and it keeps
trying so long as the status is 255. The problem is that "$?" is expanded by
make prior to being passed to the shell... I need to somehow pass an
unexpanded "$?" to the shell. I have tried "\", using a ${DOLLARSIGN},
etc... to no avail.
Than you,
