Dear Sir or Madam:
The problem I am having is occuring on Red
Hat Linux 9 using GNU Make 3.80.
I need to run the command "chmod" in my makefiles
in order to ensure that pre existing generated files are writable before they
are generated. The main problem with this is that the Linux version of
"chmod" returns 1 if the file does not exist (whereas on Solaris, "chmod"
returns 0 if the file is not there and no error is reported) and causes make to
fail. I have worked around this
problem by using a '-' character before the "chmod" command, but an error
message is still printed out during the build. Here is an example rule
that is causing the problem:
%.obj :
../%.c
-@ chmod -f +w $@ Adding the "-" before the @ allowed gmake to
continue, however now I am getting an error message from gmake:
gmake[1]: [hostio.obj] Error 1
(ignored)
Is there a way to prevent this ignored error
message from printing out? All help is much appreciated.
Sincerely,
Steven Connell
