You have lots of whitespace after the backslash here. Only a backslash followed immediately by a newline escapes the newline. Backslash followed by extra spaces does not. I highly recommend using an editor with features that will automatically removed (or at least flag) trailing whitespace in your makefiles (Emacs will do this for example). -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
