Paul, This has become a moot problem for me - when I came across this, I was trying to work around another problem, which I have fixed. Thanks for your attention to this.

Paul, I missed one of your questions - the embedded space in the error message was accidently added by me when obscuring the path.

Paul, I changed the path to ``/.../some/other/path`` to obscure details I shouldn't publicize. I did make one change - I removed a $(TOP). Here is a more accurate representation: MAKETARGET = $(MAKE) --no-print-directory -C $(TOP)/.../some/other/path -f $(CURDIR)/Makefile \ SRCDIR=$(CURDIR) $(MAKECMDGOALS) I placed an echo of $(TOP)/.../some/other/path immediately prior to the invocation of MAKETARGET and that path matched the path in the error message exactly. $(TOP) contains only ``/home/vmuser/Work/software-internal`` .

That's ultra-bizarre. Can you provide a reproducible case (cut down)? You're really just replacing the $@ with a simple explicit path exactly as you show above? No quoting, make variables, etc.? Can you also paste the recursive make command that make is invoking? You might have to remove the "@" so it will be printed. That should definitely be illuminating. _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make _______________________________________________ Help-make mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-make
