Hi I want to call make from a Python script and check make's exit code to decide whether the make succeeded.
If I deliberately introduce a syntax error into one of my C files, make calls gcc to build the file, as expected, and an error is reported as text in bash. However, the exit code (checked using echo $?) returns 0. If I run the gcc command from the bash command line, the exit code is 1. Why might make return 0 instead of 1 in the case of this compiler error? I am running gnu make 3.81 on Centos 5, with a bash shell.
