Hi All,
I had a simple makefile (code given below) which used to execute a
perl command. It used to work fine with GNU Make 3.80.
/****************** Makefile Contents [Failure with v3.81] ******************/
target:
echo "building"
perl -e {'$$irobj_str=undef; @a = `ls *`; \
{foreach (@a) { chomp; $$irobj_str .= "$_ "; }}
substr($$irobj_str, -1) = ""; \
`echo "hi"`;'}
/***********************************************************/
It gives the following error with GNU Make 3.81:
/******************* E R R O R ****************/
perl -e {'$irobj_str=undef; @a = `ls *`; \
{foreach (@a) { chomp; $irobj_str .= "/_TOOLS_/wrap/bin/make
"; }} substr($irobj_str, -1) = ""; \
`echo "hi"`;'}
syntax error at -e line 2, near "{foreach "
syntax error at -e line 2, near "}}"
/*********************************************/
With a small change (combining 1st and 2nd line of perl command), the
script runs properly.
/****************** Makefile Contents [PASS with v3.81] ******************/
target:
echo "building"
perl -e {'$$irobj_str=undef; @a = `ls *`; {foreach (@a) {
chomp; $$irobj_str .= "$_ "; }} substr($$irobj_str, -1) = ""; \
`echo "hi"`;'}
/***********************************************************/
Can any one point out the reason for that error message?
Thanks in advance for the help.
Regards,
Rohit
