It doesn't say anywhere in the manual, because this has nothing to do with GNU make. Make does not actually RUN the commands that you write, it passes the commands to the shell and lets the shell run them. So, with only the exceptions that ARE described in the manual for special characters that make cares about, make doesn't do anything to the commands including reducing backslashes. Certainly I'm not going to reproduce the documentation for the shell inside the GNU make manual: that documentation already exists elsewhere. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul D.
