Make cannot invoke the shell until after it's completely expanded the script that it is supposed to pass to the shell. Since the expansion fails with an infinite recursion, it never gets to the "invoking the shell" part, and so you don't see any output. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
