$(and) and $(or) not working

2007-05-16 Thread Noel Yap

I'm using the following:

yapn:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/proj/aoeu make --version
GNU Make 3.81beta4
Copyright (C) 2003  Free Software Foundation, Inc.
This is free software; see the source for copying conditions.
There is NO warranty; not even for MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

This program built for i486-pc-linux-gnu


And the $(and) and $(or) functions always return empty.  Has anyone
else experienced this?

Thanks,
Noel

  Note the beta tag.

  Probably means they weren't yet implemented at the time the beta was
released.  To find out for sure, try using the --warn-undefined-variables
option; if the built-ins aren't implemented, those will just look like
variable references to empty vars.

I've seen a number of messages stating that people are using 3.81beta4;
why are people still using a beta version over a year after the final
version was released (3.81 was released on 01 Apr 2006)?  Did it get
shipped with some distribution or software package?  If so you should
file a bug and request an update to the released version.

Anyway, as others have pointed out, the and and or functions weren't
implemented in beta4.


PS. Please choose one of bug-make or help-make, but not both.  Cheers!
